Imogen Ryall Quartet
Widely considered an important voice on the UK jazz scene Imogen Ryall has performed at all the major UK jazz venues and festivals as well as with some of the most highly regarded musicians around. She was featured on the much-acclaimed CD ‘In Time’ alongside Roy Ayers, Carleen Anderson and Jocelyn Brown, and her most recent release “The Mingus/Mitchell Songbook” was included in the list of “Best Albums of 2023” by five independent reviewers. And if all that wasn’t enough, she is also a highly regarded lyricist who has worked with many UK and international artists providing lyrics for their music. Imogen says the programme this evening “will feature music by the likes of Carla Bley, Larry Goldings & Brad Mehldau with lyrics from myself. We will also be playing some of our favourite standards with beautiful re-worked arrangements by our pianist Mark Edwards” (The Cloggz, Katie Melua). A sophisticated and swinging set.
