Brigitte Beraha & Matt Robinson
Sadly Emilia Martensson is no longer able to perform this evening. Brigitte Beraha will be appearing along with Matt Robinson-piano, Max Luthert-bass & Will Glaser-drums.
Brigitte Beraha, improvising vocalist and composer, is one of the leading talents on the UK jazz scene. Embracing a wide variety of influences and genres, Beraha’s sound is free and spontaneous with an emphasis on exploration, expression and fearlessly testing the limits of the voice as instrument. She has recorded a number of critically acclaimed albums, both as leader and as part of collaborative projects such as Babelfish, Solstice and Red Skies Trio. Brigitte will be joined by up-and-coming pianist/composer Matt Robinson (Emilia Martensson/Solitary Creatures, Snowpoet, Flying Machines, The Magic Lantern), Max Luthert-bass and Will Glaser-drums.
"A Norma Winstone admirer but with a distinctive muse of her own, and one of the most idiomatically agile vocal weavers of lyricism and edgy free-improv on the UK jazz circuit." Guardian; "A great musician, Brigitte Beraha uses her voice like an instrument in the tradition of people like Flora Purim, Tania Maria and Esperanza Spalding" Jazz Line-Up, BBC Radio 3; “The long Mehldau-like piano intro…highlights resourceful young pianist Matt Robinson’s spontaneity” Guardian
