The Barbican is set to host a special triple bill featuring three rising stars on 10 July. The first of these, Dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma leads a quartet featuring two established US jazz stars. Geri Allen emerged as the most influential pianist to come out of the Brooklyn M-BASE Collective that began in the 1980s and which developed an influential body of work associated with alto saxophonists Steve Coleman and Greg Osby and singer Cassandra Wilson. Allen appears with bassist Philippe Aerts and distinguished drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, who made a big impact in 2002 with her Jazz Is A Spirit album which featured mainly her original compositions joined by such luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Wallace Roney and Paul Bollenback.

The second feature of the evening is Japanese pianist Hiromi who last year duetted on record with Chick Corea and has in the last five years been catapulted on to the higher reaches of the international festival touring circuit. Despite her diminutive demeanour she packs quite a punch and often appears in her band with the former enfant terrible of the guitar, Dave “Fuze” Fiuczynski. But she’s at the Barbican for a welcome solo show. And back after a snow-affected London jazz club show earlier this year the much talked-about Yaron Herman Trio complete the evening; never should Britney Spears sound the same again. Herman appears with bassist Simon Tailleu and drummer Gerald Cleaver, heard in London recently with trumpeter Jeremy Pelt.
