Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
Tori and Alcyona formed their duo in 2015 after being invited to perform together at Manchester Jazz Festival. They have since toured extensively in the UK and internationally, including performances in Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, Austria, and more recently, featuring live on BBC Radio 3's In Tune.
Make One Little Room Everywhere is the critically acclaimed second album by Tori Freestone and Alcyona Mick. Following the success of their debut, Criss Cross, the duo continues to make waves on the UK jazz scene. The album release was preceded by major accolades: Tori’s composition Birds of Paradise, premiered at the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room, won an Ivor Novello Award for Jazz Composition, while Alcyona received a nomination for Parliamentary Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year.
Formed in 2015 after a performance at Manchester Jazz Festival, the duo has since toured extensively across the UK and internationally, appearing in Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, Austria, and live on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. Both are highly respected on the London jazz scene and have collaborated in ensembles such as the Ingrid and Christine Jensen Whirlwind Big Band, Yazz Ahmed, Nikki Iles Jazz Orchestra, Natacha Atlas, Cleo Laine/Dankworth family band, Zero-Classikal, and the London Jazz Orchestra.
Their music is spontaneous and richly interactive, drawing on a wide palette of influences that extend beyond jazz, including English folk, Brazilian and Arabic music, free improvisation, and silent film.
Make One Little Room an Everywhere features special guest appearances by award-winning jazz vocalist Brigitte Beraha and world music icon Natacha Atlas. The album has received glowing reviews, with Jazzwise naming it “an album of the year,” The Guardian praising the duo's effortless synergy, and Austria’s Concerto Magazine describing their sound as “full of esprit, insight, experience and joie de vivre.”
