Sachal Vasandani Group + Georgia Mancio/Jim Mullen

Rare London appearance for this sublime voiced US singer, who picked up a prestigious 'Rising Star' award in Downbeat magazine's 2010 end of year critics poll. With a wistful Chet Baker-ish tone and a laconic, melancholy to his delivery Vasandani is the perfect low-key antidote to X Factor-style 'over-souling', this guy's the real deal. Once again festival curator Mancio supports here with jazz guitar great Mullen.
