about

Live at St. Mary's is a live recording of a very special concert that took place on 9th September 2022, at St. Mary's Church in Putney, London - a concert of improvised music by:

Petra Haller - tap dance
Meg Morley - piano
Loz Speyer - trumpet, flugelhorn

St Mary's Putney has a beautiful ambience and acoustic, which we found most hospitable to our sounds. This was the first time we had played as a Trio together but it will not be the last. The first five pieces were played continuously, the sixth was a kind of extended encore.


As an ongoing Duo since 2020, Petra Haller and Meg Morley explore rhythm, time, space, and most engagingly, how top tier artists communicate in real time. Haller and Morley present a completely improvised concert, playing off one another to create an experience of both free-wheeling athleticism and highly disciplined technique drawing from their combined experience and training in jazz, classical styles and free improvisation.

Petra Haller is a tap dancer based in London. She has studied at Escola Luthier in Barcelona, Europe’s only full-time tap dance school, and at workshops under Jason Samuels Smith, Derick Grant and Andrew Nemr. These mentors taught her the dance style and introduced her to it’s African-American roots — the cultural foundation for all jazz music. She is successfully establishing herself in the jazz and improvised music scene and she became the first tap dancer ever named in Jazz Wise Magazine’s “Rising Jazz Artists : Who to look out for in 2020”.

Classically trained from the age of two, Melbourne-born, London-based musician Meg Morley was awarded Distinctions by the Australian Music Examination Board for its Associate and Licentiate diplomas in piano. She completed a Masters of Music in classical performance, and a Postgraduate Certificate in composition. She studied Jazz improvisation at the Victorian College of the Arts. "It's some of the best solo piano I've heard in ages...it's really affecting and has such depth, with the dramatic so effectively balanced with the poetic, the patient, the observant, the feeling. I wish there were five more pieces"
