Ayanna Witter-Johnson/Gwyneth Herbert

Cellist and singer-songwriter AW-J is fast making a name for herself as a super talented composer and collaborator with the likes of Nitin Sawhney, Courtney Pine, the London Symphony Orchestra, 4Hero and Jason Yarde. Here she kicks off a triple bill of collaborations with fine voiced folk-jazz diva Herbert in a duet that mixes confessional songwriting with jazz harmonies.
