1 March 2013
Part of St. James Studio Jazz and Roots Friday
The English Song Collective featuring Lynia, Burton Bradstock and Clare Foster.
Lynia
“Reflective New Folk…on the edge of despair and utter joy…!”
Their music stems very much from the ‘Singer-songwriter’ tradition with emphasis on lyrical context, song form and harmonic progressions. They have a verity of influences with folk, rock, blues and jazz being hinted at through the journey of the songs. All being led stunningly by “Jazz singer of the year” and nominee and songstress Nia Lynn.
Burton Bradstock
Bradstock marries his love and practice of jazz with the nostalgia of his childhood, combining the simple and well-loved melodies of English folk songs such as ‘Salisbury Plain’, ‘The Ashgrove’, ‘Early One Morning and ‘John Barleycorn’ with intricate rhythms and contemporary harmonies.
Featuring Iain Ballamy, with Julian Ferraretto on violin; Dorian Ford on piano; Riaan Vosloo on double bass; Tim Giles on drums, and Pete Berryman on guitar.
Clare Foster
“There’s a singer, who we say in the trade has paid her dues. Born in England, she’s done the studying and the working in New York, in London, in Canada and places as far flung as Thailand and Singapore. She’s now back in London gigging and teaching. Still awaiting the wide recognition that her talents undoubtedly deserve and I hope will receive very soon. There must be some justice in the musical world.”
Humphrey Lyttelton on BBC Radio 2′s Best of Jazz
