Chelsea Carmichael in concert

A live premiere from saxophonist-on-the-rise Chelsea Carmichael, plus creative guitarist Monnette Sudler shares her inspirations.

Kevin Le Gendre presents concert highlights from saxophonist Chelsea Carmichael recorded on the J to Z Presents stage at the London Jazz Festival 2021.

Chelsea Carmichael has made a name as a key player in the UK jazz community, both as a member of the Mercury-nominated SEED Ensemble and now in her own right with the release of her debut album, The River Doesn’t Like Strangers, on Shabaka Hutchings’ new label, Native Rebel Recordings. Here Chelsea is joined by guitarist Nikos Ziarkas for the first ever live performance of the album.

Also in the programme, creative guitarist-vocalist Monnette Sudler shares some of the music that inspires her. In the 1970s Sudler was a member of the pioneering Philadelphia-based jazz collective Sounds of Liberation. She went on to work with Hugh Masekela, Grover Washington, Kenny Barron and many more. Her album In My Own Way was rescued from the vaults and released on SteepleChase Records last year.
