Marvin Muoneké

Marvin Muoneké has been dubbed ‘The Young Man with The Old Soul’ and once you hear him, you’ll understand why.  With a rich, velvety voice that’s been likened to Nat ‘King’ Cole, Johnny Hartman, Paul Robeson and Billy Eckstine, Marvin is also a gifted songwriter, arranger and trumpet player.  He has a deep understanding of the Great American Songbook and an instant rapport with audiences.

He is now working in London with pianist / arranger Alex Webb, with whom he has a digital single release, ‘Forbidden Fruit’ on August 22^nd.  With recent London appearances with Denys Baptiste, Gary Crosby and The Pocket Ellington, Marvin is a name to watch.

The Pocket Ellington

‘A terrific band with a rhythm section as good as any on the planet’ – Blue Light, magazine of the Duke Ellington Society UK

Born out of Tony Kofi (tenor) and Alex Webb (piano)’s shared love of Ellington, The Pocket Ellington creates a classic Ellingtonian sound with just four horns and a rhythm section.  Alan Barnes (reeds), Simon Finch or Andy Davies (trumpet) and David Lalljee  (trombone) fill out the horn section, with veteran bassist Dave Green and powerhouse drummer Winston Clifford providing the swing.

Lulu Pierre

‘Something new and exciting … Alex Webb’s fantastic arrangements allowed Lulu the space to make a clear statement – she has arrived’ (Jazz in Europe)

In the last couple of years, Lulu Pierre has proved herself to be a classic Torch Song stylist with the sass of Nancy Wilson and the swing of Sarah Vaughan – and a knack for heartbreaking ballads too. Lulu says, ‘I feel I’m informed by the great jazz singers who went before, but not a prisoner of their approach. So we can include some pop songs, some obscure choices, some originals and the way it comes out, I really feel like I’m expressing something of my own.’

A compelling and chic figure on stage, Lulu has a rich mezzo-soprano capable of conveying deep emotion one moment and swinging hard the next. Lulu and Alex Webb often perform with guest saxophonist Tony Kofi.
