Michael Mwenso – Friday 14 November
London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3
Michael Mwenso is a great trombonist, a nifty dancer and an extremely snappy dresser, and he can also sing!
He's a talented multi-instrumentalist who, at the age of 21, has already worked with the likes of Hugh Masekela, James Brown, Abram Wilson and Jamie Cullum.
Juliet Kelly – Thursday 20 November
London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3
Juliet's sensual, velvety vocals and jazz phrasing have been described as a cross between Cassandra Wilson and Madeleine Peyroux with a hint of Amy Winehouse... But she has developed her own individual style and is one of the most distinctive singers on today’s London scene.
A warm, passionate and witty performer, she combines jazz, soul and gospel in lilting, melodic songs that perfectly match her voice.

Nell Bryden – Friday 21 November
London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3
Nell Bryden is a singer songwriter from New York whose graceful blend of blues, country and jazz has made waves on both sides of the Atlantic.
With influences such as Ryan Adams and Bob Dylan through to soul divas like Nina Simone and Bonnie Raitt, Bryden has weaven into her song-writing and performances elements of bluegrass, American jazz standards and retro soul.
Her inspiring vocal style can jump from laid-back lilt to passionate plea, or shake things up with a straight-ahead roadhouse boogie.
