With shows at the Marsden Jazz Festival at lunchtime on 9 October followed by the Edinburgh Jazz Bar later in the evening and then London’s Vortex on 11 October, it’s a maiden voyage in terms of UK shows for Montreal pianist Marianne Trudel and her trio Trifolia.

Trudel will appear with double bassist Étienne Lafrance and percussionist Patrick Graham. Over the years she has toured widely and composed and arranged for radio and film, the American Composers Orchestra, the ensemble OktoEcho, the Henri Mancini Institute Orchestra  and the McGill Jazz Orchestra.
