The RNCM welcomes the city’s annual Manchester Jazz Festival for this concert by Norma Winstone.

The improvising vocalist – known for her crystalline tone, vast range and open versatility – will be joined here by German reeds player Klaus Gesing and Italian pianist Glauco Venier. The formidable trio recently released Descansado – Songs For Films, their fifth recording together, which features personal interpretations of soundtrack music by the likes of Michel Legrand, William Walton and Ennio Morricone.

Special guest is Manchester-based South African cellist Abel Selaocoe, rounding off what promises to be a distinctly international evening of jazz.
