Biography of Babelfish

Babelfish is a collaborative project between vocalist Brigitte Beraha and pianist Barry Green, featuring legends Chis Laurence on double bass and Paul Clarvis on percussion. Their music is influenced by French Chanson, Contemporary Classical, Brazilian music and compositions inspired by writers Raymond Carver and E.E.Cummings. All four members bring their wide range of influences and experience to the project to create a unique sound. Be prepared for beautiful music and for the unexpected.

"In this highly original venture, the poetry of EE Cummings and the prose of Raymond Carver sit alongside affecting originals.." John Fordham, The Guardian

"A fascinating blend of jazz and classical structures mixed with literature and poetry. A quietly ambitious and often very beautiful album which succeeds brilliantly on its own terms." Ian Mann, the Jazzmann

"These gracious and wonderfully talented musicians delivered an exciting and unusual combination of music... The visible joy of this band working together on stage was transferred to the audience.. A unique evening" LondonJazz

“Beraha and Green clearly have a close musical rapport, his fluent, robust piano complementing her strong but affecting voice perfectly, and Babelfish's forthcoming recording should be well worth investigating” – Chris Parker.
