Sara Colman and Rebecca Nash – presented by North Devon Jazz Club
March 4 at 8:30 pm
Singer Sara Colman and pianist Rebecca Nash will perform at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver in Appledore on 4 March with a collection of new songs and arrangements developed together during lockdown in 2020, celebrating the joy of musical partnership, friendship and collaboration. They will be supported by the fine bass player, Henrik Jensen. More about the duo can be found at at saracolman.com/sara-colman-rebecca-nash-duo.
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. Commenting on the couple’s performances UK Vibe has praised “Colman’s exquisite vocals and Nash’s own penchant for blindingly beautiful chord structures….the resulting music is simply stunning.”
Sara Colman 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 Nash is one of the most distinctive pianists in the UK, and her Redefining Element 78 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 recording a recent session for BBC Radio 3’s J to Z.
