Playing the final night of her current tour, Leeds-based jazz saxophonist, composer and band leader Jasmine Myra – and her 7 band members – deliver a strong two-half show tonight at the Glasshouse. Opening with “Reflections” from 2026’s “Where
light settles” album, Myra’s sound tonight trips around the softer, more melancholic, areas of Jazz; Reflections itself standing out thanks to strong harp-melodies and focus.
Highlights tonight include new song “Revery” (which sparkles thanks to solid piano accompaniment by Jasper
Green), “Still Waters” (complete with John Densmore style bombastic drumming moments) and “Fragments” – highlighting not just Myra’s range but also her ability to contrast her compositions from soft cinematic moments to thunderous pockets
of energy. Introduced by some lovely, moving, tales about her life and experiences Myra (and band) are on fine form tonight.
Wonderful.
