Emily has gained attention and approval from several jazz luminaries, with her breakthrough in The Clark Tracey Quintet album, Introducing Emily Masser, showcasing her assured arrangements and vocals, and solidifying her reputation as a “new star of British jazz”.

Emily is joined by Dean on tenor saxophone and an all-star rhythm section with in-demand Hungarian pianist Matyas Gayer (Eddie Henderson, Scott Hamilton), thrilling bassist James Owston (Xhosa Cole, Greg Abate), and ultra-swinging drummer Steve Brown (Scott Hamilton, Barry Harris).

This band has recently recorded Songs With My Father, a gorgeous album dedicated to Emily’s late mother. The album features a mix of modern twists on jazz standards and also highlights Emily’s vocal approach to bebop.
