After being inspired to write her 'Trust' Suite for solo cello for the Anima Rising CD, Naomi expanded the music to include tabla and voice and the Naomi Gee Wright Band was born.

 

The music, performed with her bandmates, vocalist Brigitte Beraha and Ben Hazleton on tabla is finely balanced between composition and improvisation.

 

With core influences of Indian music, (Naomi has visited many times), and Celtic folk string music, other inspirations for Naomi include Ry Cooder, Egberto Gismonti, Joni Mitchell, Frida Kahlo, and Benjamin Britten. 

 

These tracks were recorded at UnderHill studios by Simon Wallace. Naomi Gee Wright (cello), Brigitte Beraha (voice) and Beth Hipwell (tabla – Ben Hazleton has since replaced Beth Hipwell on tabla).

Naomi Gee Wright Band has performed at: The Green Note, The Bossanyi Studios, The Patch Cafe London, The Wanstead Tap, Luna Lounge and Leytonstone Festival, The Vortex Jazz Club
