Programme Note
Lucid Dreamers
Brigitte Beraha’s early incarnation of Lucid Dreamers premiered as a trio with George Crowley and Tim Giles as part of the London Jazz Festival in 2019, with music written by Brigitte, inspired by the industrial world that we live in. Extended to a quartet with Alcyona Mick on piano, they released their debut album, Lucid Dreamers, in 2020 and are now touring throughout 2022 to celebrate the release of their new record Blink. The original music is both melodic and abstract. It draws from the worlds of jazz, folk, contemporary classical music, free improvisation and electronic music, with atmospheric and open improvisations, exciting grooves and impactful stillness.
‘One of the most creative vocalists on the UK scene’ (BBC Radio 3)
‘Possessed of Norma Winstone-like subtlety and precision’ (The Guardian)
