Imogen Ryall Quintet: Celebrating the Music of Tom Harrell!
Acclaimed vocalist, Imogen Ryall interprets the reflective compositions of this modern jazz giant, including brand new, self-penned lyrics!
“Best of all was the sparkling title track, which appended a new lyric by Claire Martin’s friend, Brighton-based vocalist Imogen Ryall, to an Andy Bey scat solo” — Review of Claire Martin’s “Believin’ It” CD launch at Ronnie Scott’s 2019 by Peter Quinn, TheArtsDesk.com
"The addition of the honey-toned but incisive voice of Imogen Ryall was the icing on the cake. Her pitching flawless, she somehow manages to combine an apparently effortless precision with a warm, inviting sound, drawing the listener in to her beguiling world” - Nick Halsted, London Jazz News
“Ryall had written lyrics to several existing instrumental tunes, and these were really very good. Intelligent, fitting and not at all laboured, as can be the case in lesser hands. An impressive and very promising commencement gig, leaving the audience hungry for more" - Jazzwise Magazine
Imogen Ryall was described as possessing “a very lovely voice indeed” by Jazz FM’s Sarah Ward, Imogen’s skilful improvising and her unique and heartfelt interpretations of the jazz standard repertoire have made her a popular performer with both audiences and musicians alike.
As a lyricist, Imogen has penned lyrics to several compositions by various composers including Larry Goldings and Carla Bley. Most recently, her lyrics appear on two albums by multi award-winning vocalist, Claire Martin OBE: ‘Bumpin’ - A Celebration of Wes Montgomery’ for Danish label, Stunt and "Believing it' for Linn Records.
She also contributed lyrics to US vibes maestro, Joe Locke’s composition ’This Is Just to Say’ for the John Aram United Underground Orchestra’s 2022 album, ‘Rhapsody in Red’ featuring Tim Garland, Joe Locke, and the voice of Amy Keyes.”
