SARAH evokes a cool, smoky jazz-club atmosphere with expressive, mellifluous phrasing contrasting with rhythmic dexterity. She is a singer who has been as influenced by horn players and drummers as she has by the great vocalists.
Having delved deeply into music, she draws from the greats of jazz, blues and soul and selects choice standards. She also plays flute and sings with Tarab Ensemble, performing classical Arabic music.
RICHARD has made a name for himself within the music scene, with his soulful melodies and innovative compositions. His exceptional musicality has been showcased through collaborations with many bands, where Richard has come into his own, pushing boundaries and redefining the jazz landscape with his unique sound.
Not to be missed!
