Raestar's June Jazz Showcase

VOX: Singing with an honest; heartfelt, deep-soul sensuality and scatting with abandon in places that would do Ella proud, she swings both lightning fast and seductively slow on clever and stylish re-imaginings of 12 perfectly chosen 80s hits… Press Launch at Ronnies Scotts Thurs 14th June.

DRUMS: Released April 2018 - highly anticipated live album of a mesmerising gig recorded @ The Vortex in June 2017 delivers the goods garnering a 4-star Jazzwise review lavishing high praise as does the American jazz blog 'Jazz Trail' gushing "...one of the hippest avant-garde jazz records of 2018." Book early for gigs @ Cambridge Jazz (14 June); Harrow Arts Centre (15 June). Look out for July Jazzwise feature.
