“Milner's piano work is first class...the quality music is consistently interesting”
Jazz Journal International
Gigging by the age of thirteen, on tour by fifteen, boogie/blues genius Paddy Milner released his first critically acclaimed album by nineteen, and still managede to graduate from the prestigious King's College London with a first class music degree. He has played with the likes of Earl Green, Eddie Martin, Rolling Stone Mick Taylor and Jools Holland – who, following their collaboration, told him “you make the piano sing” .
His second album includes an original arrangement of Dave Brubeck's classic Unsquare Dance, which Brubeck himself acclaimed – he commented “I love it and wouldn't change a note”. This album was reviewed in The Times on New Year's Day - “Impressive & Original”.
“Sara Mitra…sang attractively, truly, boldly”
Andrew Porter, Times Literary Supplement
“One of the best singers on the UK scene at the moment, her songwriting is powerful, strong and yet retains a level of sensitivity and intimacy which leaves you believing that she is speaking only to you” Explorer Magazine
Sara's vocal performances are vibrant and compelling, yet presented with a warmth and grace that captures her audience's hearts. She has performed from Cambridge to Paris and back - Her Elm Tree performances personify the elegance of the jazz era, seductively punctuated with her inimitable, dramatic contemporary flair. The magic in her performances comes from her ability to make classic standards sound like new songs, and her new songs sound like classic standards.
Sara and Paddy promise an explosive evening of jazz, a dramatic contrast of striking vocals with sizzling piano. Hear them at all costs!
