Camilla George studied for three years at Trinity Laban and graduated with MMus Jazz Saxophone, since when she has gone on to make a big impression on the London jazz scene and wider British scene. This live stream gig from Frith Street featured rising star guitarist Shirley Tetteh who has made an equally big impression at the beginnings of what is sure to be along, successful career. This set of seventy five minutes or so from Ronnie Scott's attracted an online audience from all four corners of the globe. 
All but one of the all-original numbers were from George's latest CD The People Could Fly, the one other composition was drawn from the alto saxophonist's debut album, Isang. The band - Al MacSween, piano, Daniel Casimir, bass and drummer Rod Youngs - formed a collective powerhouse from which George launched a succession of intense solos: taut, slow burning, ratcheting up the tension, releasing and resolving with her band mates taking up the baton to develop their own incendiary solos.
