Ariel Bart Trio (Israel/Japan/Russia)
Town Hall - Sunday, 1st May, 6.30pm

Berlin-based Ariel Bart is a musical prodigy, one of a small band of jazz chromatic harmonica players whose ranks include Tools Thieleman, Karen Mantler and Stevie Wonder.

Aged just 23, Bart draws her influences from contemporary European jazz, as well as the music of North Africa’s Maghreb and the Middle East.

While her group’s configuration is of a traditional jazz piano trio, its frontline of harmonica and cello make for the creation of melodies both beautiful and haunting.
