Jazz singer Imogen Ryall’s skilful improvising and her unique and heartfelt interpretations of the jazz standard repertoire have made her a popular performer with both audiences and musicians alike. She often works with saxophone ace Julian Nicholas (who has appeared with ‘Loose Tubes’, ‘Cloggz’, Claire Martin, Liane Carroll, Nikki Iles, Stan Tracey, Harry ‘Sweets’ Edison, Ronnie Scott’s House Band among others). Imogen is well known as an imaginative lyricist, and singing her own words makes her musical message the more powerful. Pianist and multi-talented composer Mark Edwards has worked with top U.K. and U.S. names, including Johnny Dankworth, Bobby Wellins, Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski. He has performed at such prestigious festivals as Montreux, Montreal, Mount Fuji Japan, Singapore and the North Sea Jazz Festival, and established Jazz venues such as Ronnie Scotts, The Bottom Line New York, and Blue Note Milan.

"Imogen Ryall is without doubt a hidden gem on the UK jazz scene. With her lush palette of vocal textures, her delivery is always tender, authentic and from the heart. The exceptional pairing of pianist Mark Edwards and saxophonist Julian Nicholas make up the Anöna Trio and they dance beautifully around her voice to take us on a sonic journey of venturesome arrangements of much loved standards alongside well crafted originals which give Ryall’s distinctive gift of lyric writing the perfect platform. ... A total joy from start to finish". CLAIRE MARTIN OBE
