Quercus is a British folk and jazz group comprised of vocalist June Tabor, her longstanding pianist Huw Warren, and saxophonist Iain Ballamy. The trio first came together when recording the singer's 2005 album, At the Wood's Heart. They dubbed themselves Quercus and toured over the next year, developing new material as they went, weaving together the British Isles folk tradition and jazz improvisation and standards. Near the tour's end, they were recorded live at the Anvil in Basingstoke by Paul Sparrow. The resultant tapes -- featuring only one thoroughly rearranged selection from Tabor's record -- were acquired by ECM and released as Quercus in June of 2013. ~ Thom Jurek
