Battersea Jazz Festival: Emily Masser and Alex Clarke
Rising British stars Emily Masser and Alex Clarke will be presenting an evening of fresh exciting music that draws from jazz’s rich past with a contemporary feel at Arches Lane Theatre. They will be joined by a top class rhythm section.
Emily Masser is a jazz singer from Wigan. A student at the Guildhall School of Music, Emily’s range, variation and seemingly effortless delivery reflect a confidence and ability which belie her years. Her strengths as an arranger and vocalist have received multiple plaudits, highlighting her scat singing in particular. Her breakthrough came with the release of her recent album Songs With My Father, a project dedicated to her late mother.
As a finalist at the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and Jazz Newcomer of the Year nominee in the 2021 & 2022 and 2024 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, Alex Clarke is one of the most in-demand and versatile young reeds players to have emerged on the British jazz scene. Lauded for her extensive repertoire list and intelligent ear for harmony, her sound is steeped in the tradition of bebop and her deep respect for the heritage of the music.
