Charlotte Glasson and Paul Malsom have been playing music they love together for many years at a variety of clubs, events and functions across the UK. Appearing as a duo, or as a trio with guest singers such as Beverly Vaughan, they combine jazz standards with laid back Latin bossa nova and infuse their own style into pop classics.

Paul Malsom, originally an electric guitar specialist, found a love of the acoustic guitar after discovering Jazz music and being introduced to Brazilian music. Paul heard guitarist Charlie Byrd playing the music of Jobim and his musical direction was forever altered.

Paul met guitarist Branco Stoysin and together they formed Moving Colour playing venues and events such as Soho Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Dean Street, numerous guitar festivals and including Euro Wirral International Guitar Festival and Bath International Guitar Festival. In addition to working with an array of artists such as John Etheridge, Mark Lockheart, Derek Nash and Karen Lane, Paul has opened for headline acts including Georgie Fame, The Dankworths, Liane Carroll, Jane Monheit, Tina May, Tony Coe, Gwyneth Herbert, Phil Robson and Tommy Emmanuel. He has also appeared with guitarists Eric Roche and Preston Reed.

Charlotte Glasson, originally classically trained, now concentrates on her love of jazz and latin music, effortlessly moving between the sax and flute. Charlotte has played around the UK including headlining as part of Claire Martin's Band at Ronnie Scotts and Pizza Express Dean Street.  She has appeared at The Sydney Opera House with The Lost and Found Orchestra, The Jazz Cafe with Pucho and The Latin Soul Brothers and has played on over 50 CD's including Oasis, The Divine Comedy, Will Young, Cubana Bop, Nerina Pallot to name a few.
