Square One are an award-winning Glasgow-based quartet, known for their free-spirited original music and energised live performances. The music they play alights upon many modern touchstones such as folk, fusion, soulfulness, ECM euro-cool and stylish, straight ahead jazz - yet it is a clear affinity with great melody and an intelligent musical rapport that makes Square One much more than the sum of all these parts.

I am a Jazz/Jazz Pop singer, performing at high profile private and public events. I love performing, recording and expanding and developing my repertoire in lots of different genres.
I hope you enjoy listening to some of my vocal tracks! There will be more up-to-date ones coming soon.

Thanks! 

I'm currently a student on the jazz course at the RCS. I'll be using this account to post ideas and compositions.

“Remarkable… only the very best arrangers can get a sound like that from four horns”
Evan Parker, June 2013

“I’ve been involved in jazz for more than 60 years and this is some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time. Tom’s writing has complexity, depth and intensity but above all a strong melodic thread… played with fantastic energy and a true “band sound”
Dame Cleo Laine, June 2013

Composer-performer Laura Jurd's unique voice as an improvising trumpet player is at the heart of everything she creates. Her music celebrates and innovates the rich traditions of jazz and folk music, digging into something primal and earthy, whilst taking twists and turns that prove Laura to be one of the UK's most distinctive composer-performers in contemporary music.

As a composer she has collaborated with the London Sinfonietta, the Festival of New Trumpet Music, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and the Ligeti Quartet to name a few. She has performed throughout the UK, Europe and beyond with Mercury-nominated band Dinosaur and under-her own name, having played the likes of North Sea, Montréal and Molde International Jazz festivals to name a few. 

“Jurd seems unconcerned by transient fashions or enrolment in any kind of scene, and pursues a private muse that draws on jazz, folk traditions from Europe and the Middle East, and the harmonic language of Stravinsky – yet her work is always spiritedly accessible, and often suggests wordless songs” - John Fordham, The Guardian.
