Gwyneth Herbert
vocal jazz contemporary jazz
Influences: Billie Holiday, Anita O'Day, Joni Mitchell
Gwyneth Herbert sings and writes her own songs, performing with Al Cherry on guitar and Sam Burgess on bass. Her sound draws on jazz, folk and theatrical song, built around spellbinding original compositions and an expressive, idiosyncratic voice. She has co-created several contemporary musicals and written material for the London Sinfonietta and Snape Maltings, and she conducted her own film score at the BFI, so this set shows a songwriter who has moved well beyond conventional jazz singing.
