On Thursday 16th April, we are delighted to present rising star vocalist Emily Masser

At just 21 years old, Emily is known to be one of the most exciting young voices to have emerged on the British jazz scene.

Her breakthrough came with the release of her recent album Songs With My Father, a heartfelt project dedicated to her late mother. The album has been met with glowing reviews and critical acclaim, praised for Emily's "pin-sharp singing, sparkling scat, and polished vocalese" (UK Jazz Views), as well as for the warmth and maturity of her interpretations.

Since then, Emily has toured with her band - featuring Matyas Gayer, James Owston, and Steve Brown - presenting her arrangements and vocals with a freshness and maturity that has quickly established her as a "new star of British Jazz."

In high demand, Emily and her band have appeared at many of the UK's leading jazz festivals and clubs, including the Buxton International Festival, Swanage Jazz Festival, Scarborough Jazz Festival, Southport Jazz Festival and Pizza Express Dean Street.

Joining Emily will be highly acclaimed pianist, Dean Stockdale. Known for his sensitive, swinging style reminiscent of Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, Dean appears around the UK with his own quartet and with some of the best names in British jazz.
