Klara Devlin Quartet

Event information

19-year-old jazz trumpet player, Klara Devlin, was a 2024 BBC Young Jazz Musician finalist, currently studying jazz at the Royal Academy of Music. She began playing trumpet at five and discovered jazz at eight. Her quartet — formed through Tomorrow’s Warriors — performs her original compositions and arrangements inspired by bebop, blues and free jazz. The Klara Devlin Quartet has played at venues including Jazz In The Round, Jazz Sanctuary, Karamel, CLF Art Lounge, and, the Brick Lane, We Out Here and Brecon Jazz Festivals.

In the words of Tony Kofi: “Klara Devlin, remember her name, she is in my opinion one of the most amazing and unique new trumpet voices to emerge onto the UK jazz scene. To coin the famous quote ‘if ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out’. Klara Devlin definitely has it, and definitely blows it out of her horn! I’m about 2-3 jazz generations in front of her and I’ve never been this excited about a young musician, definitely a stylist who’ll be making new waves for the next generation.”
