Norma Winstone (vocals) Mark Lockheart (reeds) Nikki Iles (piano/accordian) Mike Walker (guitar) Steve Watts (bass) Jeff Williams (drums)
Nikki Iles and Mike Walker's almost telepathic empathy and energy are the perfect foil for exquisite lyricist and pioneering innovator of the voice in jazz, Norma Winstone. The repertoire will include originals by band members as well as exploring the relatively uncharted territory of Steve Swallow, Ralph Towner, Joni Mitchell and the poetry of Rupert Brooke, for an evening of music that defies categorisation. Brought together here by their collective love of song, these musicians cross the boundaries that traditionally separate jazz, folk music and the contemporary music world.
