London-born trumpeter Poppy Daniels has emerged as one of the most in-demand young trumpeters in a vibrant London contemporary jazz scene.
She’s performed with the ultra-hip Grammy Award winning production duo Blue Lab Beats, and with Daniel Casimir, China Moses, Nu Civilisation Orchestra and such contemporary pop hit-makers as Arlo Parks and Celeste.
After years building a name for herself and developing her sound Poppy launched her new quintet last year. It’s a project that’s been supported by London’s influential Jazz Re:freshed movement, and serves up a heady brew of jazz, fusion, hip-hop, neo-soul and Latin dance stylings.
Her six-track debut EP ‘Keep on Going,’ released by Jazz Re:freshed late last Spring was One Jazz ‘Album of the Week’ in May. The tunes are bright, colourful and packed with melody and groove. Poppy Daniel’s is a trumpeter whose sound is irresistibly contemporary.
