Singer, Fumi Okiji, and guitarist, Stefano Kalonaris will perform their mesmerizing interpretations of some favourite and not so well-known jazz standards in the wonderful acoustics of the William Morris Gallery. The two have been collaborating in various bands for the past five years. Okiji's rich contralto coupled with the inventive use Kalonaris makes of the guitar creates a truly unique sound.
