THIS evening, you have a chance to hear teacher and student perform in the city. At the Pavilion Hotel, Fulford Road, York, vocalist Georgina Barr will perform three sets of classic standards. Georgina is studying towards her degree in jazz at Leeds College of Music having received vocal tuition with Kate Peters.


Kate brings a quartet to Nevermind, Stonebow House, at 8.30pm, featuring the formidable improvisational ability of guitarist Nik Svarc. There is another opportunity to hear both singers this week. Georgina joins the rhythm section at Kennedy’s Bar, Little Stonegate at 1pm on Sunday, while Kate continues her residency at The Phoenix Inn, George Street, on Monday evening.

At the Red Lion Hotel in Poppleton, vocalist Emily Brown joins the Andy Cholerton Trio for an evening of swinging jazz at 8.30pm.


Jazz at The Phoenix Inn appears to be going strong under the new ownership and there are two more events this week. Pianist Chris Moore will be performing classic bebop and swing with his trio on Sunday from 8pm, followed by his appearance in the house band at the Wednesday jam session.
