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.
John Harriman is a jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader known for his highly accomplished jazz, Latin, pop, and rock playing. He has performed widely in the UK and abroad, leading and collaborating in a range of duos, trios, and larger ensembles. He is the founder of the award-winning Cuban jazz-salsa group Heads South, praised for its dynamic live performances and infectious rhythms. Described as “impeccable” by The Times and “dazzling” by The Jazzmann, John’s playing continues to draw critical acclaim for its flair and originality.
James Sunney began his music career at Tswane University of Technology, studying under leading South African jazz musicians including Marc Duby, Kevin Davidson, Johnny Fourie, and Wessel Van Rensburg. After graduating, he performed with artists such as Heinz Winkler, Kresan, Radio Kalahari Orkes, Ettiene Steyn, and Mel Botes. In 2007, he joined top South African band Watershed as their bassist, recording two albums and touring extensively across Europe, the UK, and the US. A regular in jazz ensembles around Johannesburg and Pretoria, James built a strong foundation in jazz and improvisation. Since then he emigrated to Tunbridge Wells and now performs in various jazz ensembles in and around the south east of England.
