Tori Freestone has been creating a stir in the UK and abroad in recent years winning prestigious awards including the Ivor Novello for jazz composition and receiving rave reviews including Guardian Jazz album of the month for her 'El Mar de Nubes' 2019 trio release. Her unique writing style is not only steeped in the jazz tradition but re flects her roots in folk music and is also influenced by Latin and Brazilian music spending much of her youth and adult life in the Canary Islands where she now does much of her composing. Tori plays these compositions with the melodic yet robust approach that she has become so well know for and the trio, with her long time colleagues Tim Giles (drums) and Dave Manington (bass), themselves much in demand on the London jazz scene, has an incredible rapport and interaction that gives audiences a buzz and sense of excitement in a live setting. The music from her recent release and fresh compositions composed during the lockdown brings the level of interaction from the 3 musicians to new heights.
