Stage: The Venue
Audience: unreserved seating plus limited standing
INKYRA is a thrilling new project by Emma Rawicz which represents another ambitious departure from her previous music. Stylistically, Emma has drawn on her wide range of musical influences and inspirations from genres as varied as rock, fusion, and singer-songwriter music, all blended with her stylistic home of modern jazz. The result is an entirely unique set of new music that can flourish in any performance setting, from concert halls and jazz clubs to multi-genre nightclubs and standing festival stages.
The INKYRA music is full of effortlessly singable melodies and hard-hitting grooves that capture fans of a wide range of genres. Like much of Emma’s music, craft and sophistication are ever-present in her writing, but never at the expense of the joyful energy that captures audiences. It features blistering solos and virtuosic improvisation from each member of the band, each musician a highly respected figure on the UK scene. Collective improvisation grows out of infectious grooves, and this band is unafraid to push the boundaries of every genre they draw upon, with the adventurous creative spirit characteristic of all of Emma’s music.
