Programme
February 3rd
THE JONNY HEPBIR QUARTET |
... have combined their classic sound of Parisian Hot Club with the swinging, sultry vocals of SARA OSCHLAG in a collaboration to play songs from the swing and big band era, show tunes and bossa novas. The spirit of Django Reinhardt is never far away, and now with the addition of MIKE PIGGOTT on violin, the spirit of Stephane Grappelly is never far away too! Featuring SARA OSCHLAG vocals, MIKE PIGGOTT violin, JONNY HEPBIR guitar, JASON HENSON guitar and DAN SHEPPARD double bass |
March 2nd
JANET SEIDEL |
(Named as "Australia's first lady of jazz singing" by the UK Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD) has travelled widely with her fellow musicians CHUCK MORGAN guitar and brother DAVID SEIDEL bass. Janet accompanies herself on the Steinway. Most years, they could play anywhere from Japan to Taiwan, Philippines to UK, the Middle East to Europe and USA. The group features a genuine acoustic aesthetic, using only minimal amplification to suit the pure and natural sound of Janet's voice. Their repertoire spans the Great American Songbook - jazz standards and evergreen songs to French Chanson and Latin American influences. US writer David Nathan has made a fitting summary on All About Jazz: "With her intimate style, great feel for the lyrics of songs she sings, Seidel is one of those vocalists who is as much a story teller as she is a singer." |
