: Swedish import sings the music of John Coltrane

Another first for Wakefield Jazz – Cecilia had an illustrious career in Stockholm before moving to London where she quickly made a name for herself too.

She is particularly notable for her own lyrics to, or arrangements of, Coltrane numbers – an ambitious project for a singer which was encouraged by Reggie Workman while she was working with him in New York. Her performance of Waltz for Koop with the nu-jazz duo Koop was included in the soundtrack for Woody Allen’s film Match Point

Tony Kofi will spice up the mix and we introduce Peter Edwards musical director of Tomorrow’s Warriors Jazz Orchestra and pianist for Abram Wilson.

Cecilia Stalin - voice
