Tara Minton
“Minton...one of the leading contemporary harpists in Europe”
Artistic Director, Cambridge Jazz Festival
Originally from Australia jazz harpist and vocalist Tara Minton (Bjork, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars) has become one of the leading figures in UK contemporary harp circles. Tonight Tara is bringing to the Club her suite inspired by her recent trip to México. This latest work blends contemporary jazz and Latin American music traditions, with the music, language and mythology of these traditions all delicately woven into the tapestry of the band's contemporary jazz sound. Featuring Miguel Gorodi-trumpet, John Williamson-bass, Dave Ingamells-drums & Zands Duggan-percussion combining with Tara’s harp to provide a rich palette from which to explore the depths (and heights) of the compositions.
