At the Narva-Jõesuu Jazz Festival, the stage will ignite with the presence of Camilla George – a charismatic British saxophonist and composer whose music bursts with energy, freedom, and the vibrant pulse of contemporary jazz. Her sound fuses masterful technique, rich harmonies, and hypnotic rhythmic sensibility, carrying the deep roots of jazz while embracing fresh, boundary-pushing influences.

George’s music is a jungle-like soundscape where African rhythms intertwine with bebop’s speed and the fearless freedom of modern improvisation. Her stage presence is magnetic – every solo is a lightning strike, sending listeners soaring on waves of high emotion. As a core figure in London’s thriving jazz scene, she has collaborated with luminaries like Shabaka Hutchings and Nubya Garcia , and her album Ibio-Ibio (2022) is a vibrant and soulful exploration of her cultural heritage woven into the fabric of today’s jazz world.

Camilla George’s performance in Narva-Jõesuu promises to be an unforgettable experience for those seeking music that ignites, mesmerizes, and sweeps you away into the rhythms of a summer night.
