Stacey Kent is an American jazz singer in the mould of the greats. With a legion of fans and a host of honours and awards, including a Grammy nomination, Platinum and Gold-selling albums that have reached chart-topping positions, and more than one billion streams, she has garnered a huge international audience with her delicately nuanced interpretations of standards, chanson, Bossa Nova and originals.

Her unique multi-lingual repertoire includes originals written by the Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro in collaboration with her saxophonist/ producer/ composer/ arranger husband, Jim Tomlinson. Stacey has also recorded with Brazilian legends Marcos Valle, Roberto Menescal and Danilo Caymmi, as well as the celebrated French string quartet the Quatuor Ébène.

Kent’s new album, A Time for Love, will be released by the time she arrives in London this summer. The album will reprise her collaboration with pianist Art Hirahara and saxophonist Jim Tomlinson for their album Songs from Other Places, presenting another evocative and eclectic collection of songs. Bassist Tom Hubbard joins them on this 2026 summer tour.
