About
Pianist/composer Kate Williams has gained a reputation as both a distinctive writer and performer.
She has released several CDs, each one to critical acclaim, including Made Up and Atlas And Vulcana (with her septet) and Smoke And Mirrors (with tenor saxophonist, the late Bobby Wellins).
In 2020 she won the Parliamentary Jazz Award for album of the year for Finding Home, a collaboration between her band Four Plus Three and vocalist Georgia Mancio. Her latest CD ‘On The Wing Of A Dragonfly’ was released in May 2026 and today’s performance will feature material from the album as well as some new tunes and arrangements.
…”Immensely likeable music…distinctive and wholehearted, the trio as one”
