Built on a foundation of jazz, songs straddle singer-songwriter, folk and classical music.
Beauty, intimacy and creativity comes to the fore in this exquisite combination of singer Sara Colman and pianist Rebecca Nash, performing as a quartet alongside Henrik Jensen (double bass) and Jonathan Silk (drums).
Rebecca and Sara’s long-standing relationship has honed a musical intuition that produces the misleadingly easy sounding but musically adventurous story-telling of all good singer-musician relationships.
During the summer of 2020, when the world was turned upside down, they took up residence in a house in the forest for ten days with only each other and some chickens for company and set about writing music. Centred around a song they wrote together called Ribbons, this collection of new works and arrangements celebrates the joy of musical partnership, of friendship and collaboration.
Built on a foundation of jazz, their songs straddle singer-songwriter, folk and classical music with glimpses of formative influences such as Joni Mitchell and British jazz pianist John Taylor. The Night Traveller is a dark re-imagining of the classic standard Never Will I Marry, Noble Heart, a soulful search for ancient truth and Turning Over Stones, a modern tale of being torn between two choices: knowledge or ignorance.
Bridget Walsh, whose international tour résumé spans from Glastonbury’s Hell Stage to New Zealand’s National Jazz Festival, also joins us at World Heart Beat as a support act for the 2025 EFG London Jazz Festival.
