Were excited to announce that Brigitte Beraha, one of the UK's most celebrated jazz vocalists and composers, will be joining us as a guest artist at our jam session on 8th June! This is a fantastic opportunity to not only watch her perform but to share the stage with her and make music together. Dont miss this special evening! Brigitte Beraha, improvising vocalist and composer, is one of the leading talents on the UK jazz scene. She has recorded a number of critically acclaimed albums embracing original contemporary jazz and the core jazz and latin repertoire; the latest two under her name, By the Cobbled Path (a solo work) and Blink (with her Lucid Dreamers quartet), both venture into the realms of electronic exploration and spoken word. She is increasingly involved in exciting cross-genre projects, such as the recreation of Basil Kirchin's music as part of Hull City of Culture 2017 or Raising Hell with Henry Purcell led by Ethan Iverson at Kings Place in 2018, cementing her reputation as a truly versatile artist with a huge range of experience and creative scope. If such a thing as perfect singing exists, Brigitte Beraha, on her own terms, is surely getting even closer to it. Seb Scotney, UK Jazz News Im a big fan of the vocalist Brigitte Beraha. She has a unique, exploratory, explosive, fascinating voice. Jez Nelson, Somethin Else, Jazz FM A great exponent of the art of wordless vocal Kevin Le Gendre, J to Z, BBC Radio 3 A great musician, Brigitte Beraha uses her voice like an instrument in the tradition of people like Flora Purim, Tania Maria and Esperanza Spalding.
