Jazz tradition, with a conteporary perspective, and varied harmonic influences

"Comedienne” is the debut single of Tiana Young (she/her). It features Tiana's compositional and vocal stylings, Billy Ward (alto saxophone), Andrew Scott (piano), Hilary Geddes (guitar), James Shortland(double bass), and Abby Constable (drums) who all offer their tremendous musical ability, inspiration, and distinct perspectives to further distil the unique sonic landscape of Tiana’s compositional visions. 

This event is a live concert debut of the single which will appear within Tiana's album "Serendipity" (which will be released later in the year), some unheard material from the album, and some of Tiana's jazz favourites.

Tiana’s compositions are based within the jazz tradition, with a contemporary perspective, and varied harmonic influences, that contribute to a transcendent yet timeless quality within the stories she regales.
