Jenny Maslin & Friends – 8.30 pm

Jennifer Maslin is a versatile jazz singer and violinist based in Tunbridge Wells, known for her light, warm tone and expressive interpretations. A regular performer across the southeast, she holds residencies on the Pantiles, at the Grapevine Jazz bars in Tenterden and Rye, and last year made her debut at the Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival. Her EP Skylark – a tribute to her transition from classical to jazz – showcases her love of melodic storytelling, improvisation, and the Great American Songbook, and is available on all major streaming platforms.

Jennifer will be joined by Barnaby’s, Hastings and Southern Jazz Scene favourites Stuart Jackaman on guitar and James Sunney on bass. Stuart Jackaman is an extremely accomplished jazz and classical guitar player well-known on the UK jazz circuit as a soloist, and member of larger groups for over 20 years. James Sunney built his strong foundation in jazz and improvisation in South Africa as a regular in jazz ensembles in and around Johannesburg and Pretoria. He has since emigrated to the UK and we are now lucky enough to hear him perform in various jazz ensembles in and around the south east of England too!
