Fini Bearman - Voice

Liam Noble - Piano

George Crowley - Tenor Saxophone

Fini Bearman, Liam Noble and George Crowley come together for this memorable performance to explore much-loved songs from some of the great vocalists & songwriters of the last century, including Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan to Adrianne Lenker & Paul Simon. Through the prism of this trio they endeavor to reimagine old and new songs alike, with space, spontaneity & playfulness.

For more than two decades pianist Liam Noble has been a key figure on the vibrant British Jazz scene, both as a sideman and leader. Throughout his rich career, Noble’s compositional eye for structure and versatility as an artist has allowed him to explore longer compositional forms and unorthodox improvisational structures in the 2001 record “In the Meantime” as well as marking a new foray into electronica in 2002 in a commission from Birmingham Jazz based on Japanese Death Poetry. He has released 2 albums with free improv trio “Sleepthief” (2008,20011) and gained further acclaim with the Bobby Wellins Quartet on the 2009 CD “BRUBECK”, gaining an almost unprecedented 5 star review in The Guardian.

London-based singer-songwriter, composer & multi-instrumentalist Fini Bearman whas a ‘rare sense of melody running through her eclectic compositions, full of catchy twists and turns’. Her music melds diverse influences from jazz, folk and contemporary music into an ‘arresting and uniquely personal’ sound. Sometimes dealing with settings of poetry and other times original lyrics, ‘her voice, effortlessly moves between a light precision and warm soulfulness is unmistakably her own’.
Fini's 4th solo album ‘La Loba' was released in 2020 and it to glowing reviews including ****’s from Jazzwise (Editors Choice), allaboutjazz, The Arts Desk (album of the year). Her 5th album ‘Last Night of the World' is due for release in March 2025 on Pastiche Records, followed by a UK tour.

George Crowley is a saxophonist, clarinettist, composer and promoter based in London. Since his arrival in the capital in 2007, Crowley has steadily established himself as a key player within the city’s burgeoning creative jazz and improv scene, and increasingly well known further afield, performing across the UK and Europe. As a performer he is active across a range of styles; whether infusing melodic through-composed writing with open, searching improv in his own Can of Worms, channelling fiery avant-parade ghosts in Brass Mask, weaving through the polyrhythmic Ghanaian trance of Vula Viel or exploring more traditional repertoire, Crowley’s energy and expressive, warm saxophone sound mark him out as a musician who demands attention. He can also be found playing with bands and musicians such as Melt Yourself Down, Julian Argüelles’ Septet, Yazz Ahmed, Red Snapper, the Michael Chillingworth Septet, Rick Simpson’s Klämmer and the Olie Brice Quartet featuring Jeff Williams. Outside of the world of jazz and improvised music he has worked with artists such as Boy George and Culture Club and Mount Kimbie.
