Jasmine Myra at The Glasshouse | Gateshead Gig Preview

Jasmine Myra brings music from Where Light Settles to The Glasshouse in Gateshead on Wednesday 4 November 2026, adding one of contemporary UK jazz’s most distinctive saxophone voices to the Sage Two programme. Her writing combines spacious melodies with carefully layered ensemble arrangements, creating music that can feel reflective without losing its underlying rhythmic pull.

Myra’s recent work has helped establish her well beyond the emerging-artist stage, with a sound that draws listeners in through atmosphere as much as virtuosity. The ensemble format gives the compositions room to develop gradually, which should make Sage Two a particularly good setting for the balance of intimacy and scale in the music.

The Gateshead date sits in the middle of a varied autumn jazz season and arrives just one night before Fergus McCreadie appears at the same venue. Together, the two shows give audiences a concentrated look at different strands of current British jazz without asking either artist to fit a traditional genre template.

For Myra, the emphasis remains firmly on composition and collective performance rather than using the band simply as a vehicle for solos. That approach gives the show a clear identity and should appeal equally to established jazz listeners and audiences who have come to the genre through more contemporary instrumental music.
