Babelfish is a collaboration by two of the UK’s finest jazz artists Brigitte Beraha and pianist Barry Green. It is fueled by joyful and cross-genre experimentation, showcasing an ability to convey heartfelt emotion in multiple languages and, indeed, with no language at all. Featuring jazz legends Chris Laurence on double bass and Paul Clarvis on percussion, the band has released three albums so far, each displaying a natural ease and rapport with playful, spontaneous qualities throughout.
Between them they have played and recorded with Kenny Wheeler, John Surman, Sarah Vaughan, Norma Winstone, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Lee Konitz and many more. Their debut album Babelfish was released to critical acclaim and picked by Sebastian Scotney, founder of LondonJazz, as his top album of 2012.
"Babelfish are a definition of a contemporary jazz class act." John Fordham, The Guardian
"This remarkable quartet has evolved its own musical language. […] Unfamiliar at first, but gently seductive, it keeps you listening through the sheer power of invention.” Dave Gelly, The Observer
"It’s a pleasure to enter the original music language of this band: a world of playfulness and beauty, where anything could happen- you’re caught up in their sense of mystery and imagination.” Alison Bentley, London Jazz
