The last ‘Women in Jazz’ night at Jazz Cafe, was a kick ass triple bill from start to finish! Three female instrumentalists getting out of their comfort zones doing cutting edge original music that elevates the music scene.

Spectacularly, opening the night was Alina Bzhezhinska, acclaimed harpist, playing solo in her first- ever Jazz Cafe gig. The audience was mesmerised and silently absorbed by her sound and jazz interpretations. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed the Jazz Cafe that quiet. Check her last CD funded by the PRS Women Make Music Award, dedicated to telling Alice and John Coltrane’s story on the harp.
