Laura Jurd and Corrie Dick (of the Mercury Prize-nominated band Dinosaur) join Liam Noble and Ruth Goller for a stunning evening of Jazz in the House!
Composer-performer Laura Jurd’s distinct voice as an improvising trumpet player is at the heart of everything she creates. Her music celebrates and innovates the rich traditions of jazz and folk music, whilst often reflecting her love of The Beatles and Stravinsky to name two notable influences. Her compositions dig into something primal, earthy and human, whilst taking twists and turns that both invite surprise and evoke the inevitable.
