A stellar trio of musicians brings the original, groove-driven music of pianist and composer Daniel Hayles to St Michael’s Church in a vibrant celebration of contemporary jazz. Through infectious rhythms, lyrical melodies and fearless improvisation, Hayles' compositions draw on a rich palette of modern influences while forging a distinctive musical voice.

Joining the trio is acclaimed guest vocalist Lauren Nottingham, whose expressive artistry adds depth and warmth to a programme that showcases songs by visionary artists including Esperanza Spalding, Cécile McLorin Salvant and Jonathan Crayford. These exceptional musicians invite you to experience jazz that is fresh, vibrant and unmistakably of today.
