Tammy Payne Trio at Future Inn Jazz Club
£5/3 students

A gig on Thursday 5th February. The event starts at 20:00.


Tammy Payne - started out recording on Gilles Peterson's legendary label Talkin Loud and has since had an eclectic career singing soul, jazz and alt rock with Smith And Mighty, John Parish and Edition signed Tamco. ( which got a four star review in Mojo Magazine).

After releasing a couple of dance hits on Gilles Peterson's now iconic label Talkin Loud, notably'Take Me Now', Tammy took a U turn. Instead of making the album fans expected, she took time out to play percussion in salsa bands, travelled to Brazil to learn samba songs and released eclectic music under various guises.

This period saw her sing and write with Sissi, Bristol sound originators Smith And Mighty,Boca 45 and Jukes, as well as touring as the drummer for John Parish ( long time producer of PJ Harvey ).

Tammy then released'We Might Disappear' with her new band Jukes.

Produced by Jim Barr ( Portishead, Get The Blessing ), it was a foray into the New York Bleeker Street of her mind, a folksy and sometimes psychedelic vehicle in which to explore her relationship with time, nature and fate. The label Triumphant Sound went bankrupt on its release, resulting in zero publicity for this undiscovered gem. But it's critical acclaim included an 8/10 from the NME, describing it'A solar eclipse of LSD sound'.

Continuing her musical zig-zagging, she then released a classic rock / folk covers album on jazz label Edition Records with the band Tamco. The combined jazz pedigree of the band drummer Dylan Howe ( The Blockheads ),bassist Jim Barr (Get The Blessing ), Dan Moore on keyboards ( Pee Wee Ellis, Andy Shepherd ) and Neil Smith ( The Liftmen ), gave a free flowing improvisational direction that packed a swarthy rhythm and blues punch. This was the perfect foil for Tammy's haunting reinterpretation of the lyrics of Dylan, Cohen and Elvis Costello, etc...but...

...tonight Tammy performs a selection of classic jazz standards alongside David Guy and Denny Ilett.
