For this concert vocalist and composer Jenna Cave will be joined by two leading voices in creative jazz, Paul Cutlan (bass clarinet) and Matt McMahon (piano); presenting a selection of Jenna’s songs from various projects, re-arranged for this unique trio line-up.

In recent years Jenna Cave has found herself drawn to writing and performing songs as a powerful means to explore, express and move through her emotional experiences in a transformative period of life. Music from the heart, her songs explore grief and loss, love and heartbreak, maternal love and hope, self-love, and mindfulness; framed in contemporary jazz, blues and soul-jazz settings.

Cave’s 2024 sextet album ‘Grief, Hope, Love’, a suite of songs commissioned and produced by ABC Jazz, features acclaimed Australian vocalist Kristin Berardi. In the same year Cave returned to her own vocal practice, and formed her Heart Songs group as a performance vehicle for her new works. In August 2026 she released her first single as a singer-songwriter, ‘42 Again (Live at Johnston Street Jazz)’, a duo with pianist Andrew Scott.

Inspiring music which deeply touches the heart
