Stoney Lane Live: Trish Clowes and Ross Stanley / Sara Colman and Rebecca Nash

Presented by Stoney Lane Live

Following the launch of Stoney Lane Live with the sell-out Bill Frisell Trio earlier this year, the series moves to a UK-focus ahead of 2025's international programme, with a special double-bill celebrating new music from two acclaimed duos: saxophonist Trish Clowes and pianist Ross Stanley, and singer songwriter Sara Colman and pianist Rebecca Nash.

"Trish Clowes and Ross Stanley - vital music full of swing, emotion and atmosphere ... a deep understanding, a musical bond, a little bit of magic perhaps." ★★★★½
The Irish Times

With the release of their compelling new album Journey to Where in March, the much-lauded duo debut from Clowes and Stanley has been a long time in the making. With adventurous original writing, free improvisations and personal favourites, the record features intriguing arrangements of music dedicated to their respective heroes, Wayne Shorter and John Taylor, to interpretations of a Marcel Dupré Prelude and Herbert Howells’s Gloucester Service.

"Sara Colman has a rare ability. Not only does she do full justice to the music and lyrics of a song, she also shares the music with her audience with a deep generosity of spirit. And she does it all with wit, with grace and wisdom.”
 UK Jazz News

Longstanding collaborators Colman and Nash preview music from their beautiful new album Ribbons, released next spring. Built on a foundation of jazz, their songs straddle singer-songwriter, folk and classical music with glimpses of formative influences such as Joni Mitchell and pianist John Taylor.

The beauty, intimacy and creativity of the duo comes to the fore in this refined pairing. This live series from Stoney Lane is supported by Arts Council England. Stoney Lane Live

"Nash ...[is] at the vanguard of innovative and compelling new music."
