ISQ is a critically-acclaimed post-jazz outfit from London featuring Irene Serra (vocals - Wynton Marsalis, Norma Winstone, US3), Richard Sadler (double bass - founding member of the Neil Cowley Trio), Naadia Sheriff (piano - Yazz Ahmed, Hermeto Pascoal) and Chris Nickolls (drums - Andy Sheppard, Jean Touissant).

After two widely praised albums, ISQ are currently embarking on their third release. Their recent singles from the upcoming album – ‘Paper Doll’ and ‘Ode To Myself’ – show a consolidation and maturing of their own inimitable style – the use of space and dynamics along with Serra’s evocative lyrics that weave stories of a rare intensity. Each song creates a visual story-line—a movie in the listener’s head—that connects to all audiences.

ISQ will be releasing and touring their much-anticipated third album this Autumn and into early 2020. It is in a live setting that these musicians really show their jazz roots, expanding the framework of the songs and relishing in the musical spontaneity and interplay. Hear them at the Marine.

“…ISQ are a melting pot of genres – jazz, pop, acoustic and experimental – which all blend

together to entrancing effect…” – Time Out London Critics Choice

“…singer Irene Serra has a strong stage presence and a compelling vocal tone, which she uses to great effect on original songs that defy categorisation…” – JAZZWISE

“…Their arrangements draw on jazz, rock and electronic music, using the skills of the band’s

individuals to the full, in music which is uniquely theirs…” – London Jazz
