Australian jazz harpist and vocalist Tara Minton is a true original. Devoutly "team Ashby", Tara plays the harp in a way that defies the fluffy stereotype, expressing a rich melodic and harmonic language with influences from Monk to John Taylor and Esperanza Spalding.
Tara is endorsed by Camac Harps and holds a masters degree of jazz performance from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She is signed to Lateralize Records, with whom she is releasing her most recent record "Please Do Not Ignore The Mermaid" - an impressionistic dive deep into mer-myth, womanhood and climate change. The album also showcases the talents of Phil Merriman, Ed Babar, David Ingamells and Tomasso Starace.
Tara will be joined in concert by Phil Merriman, Ed Babar, David Ingamells and Tomasso Starace. They will present music from Tara's latest record as well as works by John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland and more.
