Stacey Kent

Maybe she understands how to express the complicated emotions around identity, romance, displacement and longing because she has lived them so fully herself. Raised in New Jersey, Stacey moved to England for graduate school. Almost immediately she met saxophonist
Jim Tomlinson
saxophoneb.1966
As Stacey describes it, meeting Jim was a major inflection point in her life and it's clear that the relationship between the two is at the center of the story. Eventually, they befriended the Japanese born British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, which has led to an ongoing creative partnership between Tomlinson and Ishiguro who compose original songs for Stacey's repertoire.
In this conversation, recorded on location at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in [{jny: London}} we talk about why she's a fatalist, escaping from New Jersey and from the bounds of category, crossing borders (in many senses), and her latest release Songs From Other Places.
The Third Story is made in partnership with WBGO Studios.
