Norma is a saxophonist, composer and arranger based in Bristol. She has many years of performing a wide range of music styles including latin, jazz, reggae, classical, pop and folk.

Norma works solo on alto and soprano sax and also with a diverse range of musicians in various ensembles including duos, trios and small bands. Her current projects include a Brazilian music duo playing everything from tradition choro music to up beat sambas, and an all female jazz trio playing popular standards.
