The Hampstead Jazz Club, London

London Debut at The Hampstead Jazz Club

Vocalist Afra Jemina is a rising star of the Swiss jazz scene, who is  noted for her pure voice and the attention to detail she brings to the  lyrics of the songs she interprets. She distinguishes herself from her  peers by vividly bringing to life the characters and stories of the  Great American Songbook: timeless numbers by George Gershwin, Cole  Porter and Richard Rodgers, as well as ‘forgotten’ standards, which were  not originally written down. Making her London debut, she is joined by  some of the UK’s most acclaimed young musicians in an intimately  swinging quartet setting.

Hot on the European jazz scene, having recently toured in Bulgaria,  Georgia, Turkey and Greece. Her latest project sees her giving some of  these charming, almost-lost songs a voice again.

Line-up:

Afra Jemina – Vocals

Sam Braysher –  Alto Saxophone

Joe Webb – Piano

Conor Chaplin – Double bass
