Acclaimed saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Ruth Hammond joins renowned guitarist Adam Stokes in reworking best loved Jazz standards from the American Songbook and beyond.

Equally at home performing at Ronnie Scotts, The National Theatre or a Serbian Castle on all number of woodwinds and keyboards, Ruth is a deeply melodic, sincere and inventive musician. The London Evening Standard described “Her playing [as] sumptuously beautiful”.
