Tara Minton
“Minton...one of the leading contemporary harpists in Europe”
Artistic Director, Cambridge Jazz Festival
Originally from Australia jazz harpist and vocalist Tara Minton has become one of the leading figures in UK contemporary harp circles, renowned as both a performer and educationalist. She has worked with, among others, Björk, Alice Zawadski, Emma Rawicz, Eska, Clare Wheeler, Stan Sulzmann, Geoff Gascoyne, Faris Ishaq, Nick Willsher, The Australian World Orchestra and The Ronnie Scott's All Stars, as well as holding a masters degree in jazz performance from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Tonight, joined by David Ingamells on drums and John Williamson on bass, she brings an intimate trio show to the Club. The trio will present Tara's original compositions, including music from her new Latin American suite "The Devil Invites You to Dance", alongside creative arrangements of beloved standards and songs by friends.
