Following the continual rise of Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the year 2015, and critically-acclaimed tenor saxophonist HELENA KAY, the Hampstead Jazz Club is thrilled to announce their return performance for another thrilling evening of melodic and authentic jazz.

Once again they will be joined by an old friend, our own Musical Director Jamie Safir on Piano (Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, Claire Martin, Ian Shaw).

Helena Kay

Kay draws influence from different places which are important to them: Scotland, London, and New York, each of which have been their home during their career. While in New York, they had lessons with some of the greats of the contemporary jazz scene – Dayna Stephens, Melissa Aldana, Chris Cheek and Rodney Green.

Kay also plays with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, and has performed at numerous festivals such as London Jazz Festival, Glasgow Jazz Festival, as well as venues including as Ronnie Scott’s, The Royal Albert Hall and The Vortex.

‘This was indeed a virtuoso venture for Helena…Their mellow sound was appealing, too’ - John Watson, London Jazz News

“Kay and her trio confirmed both their understated group virtuosity and command of narrative drive.” - Mike Hobart, Financial Times
