Nominated Best Vocalist in the 2021 Jazz Parliamentary Awards, Brigitte Berahas early incarnation of Lucid Dreamers premiered at Londons Queen Elizabeth Hall as a trio with George Crowley (Melt Yourself Down, Yazz Ahmed) and Tim Giles (Nostalgia 77, Iain Ballamy) in November 2019 as part of the London Jazz Festival, with music written by Brigitte, inspired by the industrial world that we live in. Now extended to a quartet with Alcyona Mick (Natacha Atlas) on piano, the quartet released their debut album Lucid Dreamers on Let Me Out Recordsin July 2020, with their follow up 'Blink' in the Spring 2022.

It draws from the jazz, folk, contemporary classical and electronic worlds, with atmospheric and open improvisations, exciting grooves and impactful stillness. ?

Lucid Dreamers is forceful, sustained aural theatre, and it demands nothing but your dreams in action in return. Utterly stunning. Liverpool Sound and Vision * * * *
