Aria with special guest Chris Montague

Described by Jazz FM’s Simon Phillips as “a future classic, a young lady on the verge of a huge breakthrough,” Aria joins the stellar lineup at London Jazz Festival 2025. This rising jazz artist has been making waves across the UK scene with standout performances at Ronnie Scott’s, Cheltenham Jazz Festival & Pizza Express Live Dean Street.

This intimate concert showcases Aria’s fresh originals, inventive arrangements, and magnetic stage presence. Joining Aria for this special evening is one of the UK’s most distinctive guitar voices, Chris Montague. Dubbed “The UK’s greatest jazz guitarist since John McLaughlin” (Marlbank), Montague has toured internationally, playing major jazz festivals in the USA and Canada. Renowned for his distinctive approach to the instrument, Montague brings a bold, creative energy to complement Aria’s sound.

Backed by a full band and three powerhouse backing vocalists, this performance promises to captivate and inspire – don’t miss it.
