Zoe Francis (vocals) met guitarist Jim Mullen in 2013. They have recorded and toured four albums together, including the album The Very Thought of You recorded live at 606 Club. Zoe Francis’s vocal journey began in New York, attending the weekly workshops of Barry Harris and jam sessions throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Harlem, performing with musicians including Harry Allen, Harry Whitaker and Joe Cohn.
Jim Mullen also spent some time in New York, touring the USA several times. He has recorded and toured with artists including Brian Auger, AWB, Gene Harris, Mose Allison, Terry Callier, Jimmy Smith, Kokomo, Frank Wess, Herbie Mann, Georgie Fame, Robert Palmer and Claire Martin. Jim shared a 15-year partnership with UK saxophonist Dick Morrissey in the band Morrissey Mullen throughout the late 70s and 80s.
In-demand musician Ross Stanley (organ) is also an accomplished pianist and composer, known for his flowing creativity and lyrical phrasing. He has worked with musicians including Bobby Wellins, Nigel Price, Trish Clowes, Dennis Rollins and Stan Sulzmann.
Tonight’s trio have recorded and toured two albums together, Blue Town and more recently Somewhere in the Night. The combination of Zoe’s warm voice, Jim’s blues-drenched melodic lines and Ross’s rich layers of harmonic sound offers a fresh take on a choice of classic songs.
