SUMMARY:Tara Minton Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nTara Minton - Harp\nMiguel Gorodi - Trumpet\nJohn Williamson - Double bass\nDavid Ingamells - Drum kit\nEmilio Yañez Ruíz - Drum kit\n\n \nAbout\nCelebrated jazz harpist and vocalist Tara Minton presents her new album\, “The Devil Invites You To Dance”. Written in México City in July 2023\, the suite captures a soul’s journey through the Underworld of shadows and desire. Diving deep into Aztec mythology and Latin American dance traditions\, Tara Minton and her band lead the listener through a dark and joyous exploration of what it means to be human. Beyond "should" and "shouldn't" is the place where we meet ourselves.\n\nTara Minton is a Melbourne born harpist\, vocalist and composer based in London. She is proudly endorsed by Les Harpes Camac and holds a master's degree in jazz performance from The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Sought after as both a harpist and vocalist\, Tara has worked with Björk\, Eska\, Stan Sulzmann\, Geoff Gascoyne\, Emma Rawicz\, Alice Zawadski\, Trish Clowes\, Faris Ishaq\, The Ronnie Scott's All Stars\, Opera North\, The Royal Ballet and The Australian World Orchestra.\n\nIn July 2023\, with the help of "Asociaión Latinoamericana Del Arpa" Tara spent two weeks in México City to compose a new suite of music\, "The Devil Invites You To Dance." The music is a marriage between Latin American and British jazz cultures\, exploring Méxican mythology\, joy\, self expression and desire. Tara returned to México City in October 2025 to present the record in concert at Foro del Tejedor.\n\n“Otherworldly” - The Sunday Times\n“Ethereal and free-spirited” - Mojo\n“Bewitching” - Jazzwise\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i6sBw2D3GE&list=RD_i6sBw2D3GE&start_radio=1[/embed]
