"Matching the peerless voice and regal presence of June Tabor with the empathetic accompaniment and impassioned soloing of pianist Huw Warren and saxophonist Iain Ballamy, Quercus is a genuine one-off: a chamber jazz-meets-folk trio of equals creating unapologetically intelligent music that nourishes the mind, heart and soul. With a repertoire that can move from Shakespeare lyric to Broadway song to the English Pastoral tradition, the players delight the listener with their breadth of reference and sheer good taste.
