One of the most distinctive voices in jazz and improvised music today, Laura Jurd’s unique approach to the trumpet is celebrated in the work that she creates. Laura’s love of folk traditions can often be heard in her music, alongside her background in classical composition. The result is a melodic world full of compelling twists and turns, whilst retaining a grounded sense of familiarity.

In the past couple of years, Laura’s love of traditional music has deepened having played alongside the likes of Irish fiddle player Ultan O’Brien and English accordionist Martin Green (one third of super-group Lau).

This autumn sees Laura returning to the stage, presenting her astonishing new album ‘Rites and Revelations’, due for release in October 2025. The music takes the listener on a journey of ritual and catharsis, propelled by the world-class rhythm section of Ruth Goller, bass, and Corrie Dick, drums, alongside the contemporary folk masters Ultan O’Brien and Martin Green.

‘Jurd seems unconcerned by transient fashions or enrollment in any kind of scene, and pursues a private muse that draws on jazz, folk traditions from Europe and the Middle East… her work is always spiritedly accessible, and often suggests wordless songs’ - John Fordham, The Guardian.
