They’re joined for this concert by the inspiring and subtly propulsive rhythm section from the album; Henrik Jensen (double bass) and Jonathan Silk (drums).  \n “…Colman’s exquisite vocals and Nash’s own penchant for blindingly beautiful chord structures… the resulting music is simply stunning…” UK VIBE \n“deeply affecting recording” JAZZWISE ★ ★ ★ ★ \n“one of the UK’s most distinctive creative dialogues”\n“richly nuanced soundworld that dissolves the boundaries between contemporary jazz\, art song\, and cinematic storytelling”\nPRESTO MUSIC \nSara Colman has recorded three solo albums\, with her third ‘Ink on a Pin’ universally acclaimed\, resulting in Sara being awarded ‘Lyricist of the Year’ in the UK songwriting competition. She has worked with many leading lights of UK music\, including Laura Mvula and Mahalia\, and appeared at festivals including Cheltenham\, Manchester\, Mostly Jazz\, ReVoice and Sligo. \n“A class act . . . richly evocative . . . immaculate performances. Situated in the hinterland somewhere between jazz and the territory of the singer-songwriter.” — The Jazz Mann \nRebecca Nash is firmly established as one of the UK’s most distinctive pianists\, with two acclaimed albums on Whirlwind recordings\, her recent collaboration with trumpeter Nick Walters (Sarsen Drift) recently headlined at the Manchester Jazz Festival\, and she’s also performed at venues and festivals including EFG London Jazz Festival\, Cheltenham Jazz Festival\, We Out Here Festival\, Love Supreme Festival\, and Ronnie Scott’s amongst others. \n“One of the freshest most creative talents in the UK at this present time” ★★★★★ UK VIBE \n“It’s obvious that she’s going to be a star.” JULIAN JOSEPH \nHenrik Jensen is much in demand across the UK as well as working globally at venues including the Blue Note in Tokyo\, and closer to home across the London jazz scene in collaborations with artists including Michael Blake\, Elizabeth Shepherd\, Gene Calderazzo and Billy Jenkins\, as well has his own outstanding quartet ‘Followed by Thirteen’. \nOn drums\, Jonathan Silk is a composer and bandleader based in Birmingham and has released two acclaimed albums with his own big band and string orchestra as well as working with world-renowned composers Vince Mendoza and Maria Schneider and a host of other nationally and internationally renowned musicians.
