A Time For Love
Stacey Kent is an American jazz singer in the mould of the greats, with a legion of fans, a host of honours and awards including a Grammy nomination, album sales in excess of two million and more than one billion streams, and Platinum, Double-Gold and Gold-selling albums that have reached a series of chart-topping positions.
Stacey, a comparative literature graduate with a passion for music, travelled to Europe to further her studies after receiving her degree from Sarah Lawrence College in NY. Through a series of twists of fate, she found herself in London where she enrolled in a graduate music program at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she met her future husband and musical partner, Jim Tomlinson.
Kentâs musical journey began with childhood piano lessons. A keen ear and true voice lead her to search out opportunities to express her love of music. However, nothing suggested the shift from the academic path to the one that propelled her to international recognition as one of the foremost jazz singers of her generation. With a catalogue of 13 studio albums, including the Platinum selling, Grammy-nominated Breakfast On The Morning Tram and an impressive list of collaborations, Stacey has graced the stages of nearly 60 countries over the course of her career.Â
Her worldwide fan base is testimony to her ability to express the emotional heart of her songs with delicately nuanced interpretations that transcend borders and defy categorization. Her unique multi- lingual repertoire includes standards, chanson, Bossa Nova, and originals written by Jim Tomlinson, her saxophonist / producer / composer / arranger husband in collaboration with the Nobel Prize- winning author, Kazuo Ishiguro, with whom they have worked since 2006. She has also recorded with Brazilian legends Marcos Valle, Roberto Menescal and Danilo Caymmi and the celebrated French string quartet, the Quatuor ĂbĂšne.
Staceyâs last studio album, Summer Me, Winter Me, was released in November 2023 on NaĂŻve Records. A collection of fansâ requests from her as yet unrecorded concert repertoire, âSummer Me, Winter Meâ entered the French jazz charts at Number 1 and has quickly established itself as a new highlight in her discography. She now returns with âA Time For Loveâ and worldwide tour dates throughout 2026.
