The Emily Masser Quintet

“Songs With My Father” Album Tour

Emily Masser, is a 20-year-old jazz singer from Wigan, and currently studying at London’s Guildhall School of Music. Besides the superb musical education she received at the famous Chetham’s School of Music, Emily was also given invaluable mentorship by her father, respected saxophonist Dean Masser. Emily gained attention and approval from jazz luminaries. Her breakthrough however, came with The Clark Tracey Quintet’s debut album, “Introducing Emily Masser”, showcasing her arrangements and vocals, and solidifying her reputation as a “new star of British jazz”.

Emily is joined by her father Dean Masser on saxophone and an all-star rhythm section: in-demand Hungarian pianist Matyas Gayer (Eddie Henderson, Scott Hamilton), rising-star bassist James Owston (Xhosa Cole, Greg Abate), and ultra-swinging drummer Steve Brown (Scott Hamilton, Barry Harris). This band has recently recorded “Songs With My Father”, an album dedicated to Emily’s late mother. The album features a mix of modern twists on jazz standards and also highlights Emily’s vocal approach to bebop.

BAND MEMBERS: Emily Masser (Vocals), Dean Masser (saxophone), Matyas Gayer (Piano), James Owston (Bass), and Steve Brown (Drums)
