Late Night Jazz – Emma-Jean Thackray

Emma-Jean Thackray is a multi-award winning composer, producer, arranger and instrumentalist.

Her recent WALRUS EP, described by Rhythm Section as “one of the most exciting and unique jazz records of 2016”, received great underground acclaim and frequent radio play, including from Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music and on Jazz FM.

Both solo and with her band WALRUS, Emma-Jean has performed internationally, at renowned festivals and live on radio stations such as Red Bull Radio, Worldwide FM and Le Melletron. Throughout 2018 she is set to release new material and produce several unique concert experiences as part of a partnership with the London Symphony Orchestra and St Luke’s. Having recently sold out popular London jazz series, Church of Sound, her performance in the Elgar Room promises to be a unmissable night.
