In the first of a new series of concerts, Victoria Klewin joins The Adam Stokes Trio in paying tribute to the late, great Nancy Wilson, the somewhat overlooked yet immensely talented Jazz singer active from the mid fifties to 2011.
An in-demand session singer, Victoria Klewin is known for extended range and finely crafted tone, her voice has been described as ‘simultaneously sweet, soulful and slightly world-weary’ by BBC Radio Scotland. Victoria has toured internationally both with her own originals project and with Hannah William and the Affirmations.
Adam Stokes is an up-and-coming Guitarist blending Jim Hall Style melodic development with Thelonious Monk’s angular dissonances, he is known on the Bristol scene as the host of the Stag and Hounds Jam session where he has played with the who’s who of Bristol Jazz.
Chris Jones (Orfic, Weareleif, Nurdle) is a first-call Bassist who has played across the UK from Theatre Pits to Pizza Express Soho, his blending of contemporary rhythmic ideas and guttural blues draws comparisons to the likes of Larry Grenadier and Charlie Haden.
Matt Brown (Run Logan Run, Sefrial, Modulusiii, Orfic) is a busy touring drummer who has performed with the likes of Gregory Porter, Pee Wee Ellis and Andy Sheppard, his band Run Logan Run won the 2018 Montreux Jazz Festival Talent Awards and he was featured in Rhythm Magazine’s ’10 British Newcomers’ article.
