“With her “canny and sumptuous blend of roots music and pre-rock pop” (L.A. Times) k.d. lang is a modern musical icon, rightly celebrated inside the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and deserving of her four GRAMMY® awards and 2018’s Americana Trailblazer Award. But accolades aside, it’s her “achingly beautiful” voice (New York Times) that continues to win the hearts of fans; a seduction that started with the release of the influential ‘post apocalyptic cabaret album’ Ingénue in 1992. This year she continues to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her platinum selling breakthrough album through a UK tour of exceptional live shows.”

“Jim Blomfield returns to Fringe Jazz with his brilliant Trio. The band will be playing Blomfield original compositions taken from the trio's critically acclaimed CD's 'Strange Beauty (Every Way OK)' released earlier this year and 2014's 'Wave Forms and Sea Changes' (both on Pig Records). The Trio have been together for almost a decade and have developed an organic level of dynamic interplay in their interpretations of Jim's original contemporary compositions. The music, at times delicate and atmospheric, at others intricate and intense with driving rhythms, rich harmonies, adventurous solo and group improvisations and tight, complex ensemble writing.”
