It was jazz heaven last night watching the @emilyfrancistrio at the @marrs_barmusic in Worcester. Organised by @musicspokenhere . Trio Emily Francis - Keyboards, Trevor Boxall - bass and Jamie Murray - Drums were creative, tight, progressive and played with humour. The playing individually was off the scale, they are all such accomplished musicians.
They have a fantastic new EP out and albums that can be purchased from their bandcamp site below.
On tour at the moment go and see them you won’t be disappointed.
