Kate Williams is an acclaimed jazz pianist and composer.
Her latest project, Four Plus Three is a new collaboration with the Guastalla string quartet. Kate first met violinists John Garner and Marie Schreer, the co-leaders of the quartet, whilst working on Bill Evans And The Impressionists at the 2014 Guildhall Jazz Festival on a programme that featured works by piano legend Bill Evans which Williams arranged for her jazz trio and full orchestra.
The repertoire for this new project includes material by Bill Evans, as well as tunes by Cole Porter and A.C. Jobim as well as originals by Williams.
The band began a short UK tour in May 2016 with support from Arts Council England (see artist website for details). Both the CD and the live performances have received glowing reviews.
