Singer Sara Colman and pianist Rebecca Nash bring their exquisite duo to the Lescar backroom, a perfect setting for this beautiful and intimate music performed by two wonderful creative musicians, with a collection of new songs and arrangements developed together during lockdown in 2020, celebrating the joy of musical partnership, friendship and collaboration.
Built on a foundation of jazz, their songs straddle singer-songwriter, folk and classical music with glimpses of early influences such as Joni Mitchell and British jazz pianist John Taylor. Their fourth album released on Stoney Lane this year also features Iain Ballamy, Henrik Jensen, Ruth Hammond and Percy Pursglove.
Sara has made numerous appearances at festivals including Cheltenham, Manchester, Mostly Jazz, ReVoice, Sligo, and appeared as featured vocalist with The National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland at the BBC Prom Night at The Royal Albert Hall, as well as being a much respected educator, and working with some of the leading lights in British music including Laura Mvula and Mahalia.
Rebecca is one of the most distinctive pianists in the UK, and her Redefining Element 78, released on Whirlwind, is one of the most exciting bands on the scene. She has performed at festivals including the EFG London Jazz Festival, Cheltenham, We Out Here and Love Supreme, as well as a recent appearance on BBC Radio 3’s J to Z.
“…Colman’s exquisite vocals and Nash’s own penchant for blindingly beautiful chord structures…. the resulting music is simply stunning…” – UK Vibe
