Ahead of a new live album to be released later in the year jazz singer Georgia Mancio is touring with pianist Alan Broadbent in trio mode exploring their only personal songbook.

Known for his tenure in the late Charlie Haden’s Quartet West and his fairly recent work with Paul McCartney – most notably conducting and orchestral arranging on the very fine 2012 Macca jazz album Kisses on the Bottom – dates include The Apex, Bury St Edmunds (22 September); Bonington Theatre, Nottingham (24 September); The Stables, Milton Keynes (27 September); Watermill, Dorking (8 October) and Pizza Express Jazz Club, London (9 October).
