About
Stacey Kent is an American jazz singer in the mold of the greats, with a legion of fans and a host of honors and awards including a Grammy nomination, and most recently, the Prix Ella Fitzgerald from the Montreal Jazz Festival. With Platinum and Gold-selling albums that have reached a series of chart-topping positions, and over half a billion Spotify streams, she has garnered a huge international audience with her delicately nuanced interpretations of standards, chanson, Bossas, and originals. Her unique multilingual repertoire includes originals written by the Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro in collaboration with her saxophonist/producer/composer/arranger husband, Jim Tomlinson. Their first song, The Ice Hotel, won first prize in the jazz category of the International Songwriting Competition. Stacey has also recorded with Brazilian legends Marcos Valle, Roberto Menescal, and Danilo Caymmi, as well as the celebrated French string quartet, the Quatuor Ébène. Kent’s new album, A Time for Love, will be released in October 2025. It will reprise her trio collaboration with pianist Art Hirahara and Jim Tomlinson, in an eclectic collection of songs.
