Kicking off the second academic year of Girton Jazz is acclaimed jazz and soul vocalist Polly Gibbons. A true star of the UK scene, Suffolk-born Polly was also based in the US for a number of years, recording three albums with LA-based Resonance Records before returning to the UK to release her album of original songs, 'As It Is'.
"Polly Gibbons is unmistakably a class act" (The Guardian)
"A truly exceptional talent... a voice of such sizzling intensity and raw emotion you could fry an egg on it" (Jazzwise)
Polly is a long-time collaborator with pianist and Girton Jazz Musician-in-Residence James Pearson, who will join her alongside other members of her band.
