2017 marks the centenary of America's First Lady of Song, the incomparable Miss Ella Fitzgerald. We'll honor Ella, her remarkable legacy...
"Tina May remains the most expressive and technically gifted jazz singer on the UK scene."
The Scotsman
"Tina May is currently among the 'hot property' list of British jazz singers and she's extremely versatile."
Bury Free Press
"Tina May has a fine, expressive voice, with immaculate pitch, clear diction and no annoying mannerisms."
The Observer |
"'Home Is Where The Heart Is' plays with the concept of mother tongue…..it ventures out into new territory and experience. So precise is the writing and so intuitive the performance that every song finds its way home, in the deepest way." Brian Morton |
Home is Where the Heart Is
With Enrico Pieranunzi & Tony Coe
Tina's long association with '33' continues with this long awaited collaboration between Tina and one of Europe's greatest pianists, the incomparable Enrico Pieranunzi.
The album features several well-known Pieranunzi compositions that are given lyrics by Tina – including to Chet Baker's original solo on Pieranunzi's 'Night Bird', that the pianist recorded with Baker in the 1970's.
On two numbers, 'Night Bird' and Ellington's 'Day Dream', the Duo are joined by the wonderful Tony Coe on soprano saxophone. |

Tina May Sings 'Piaf'
Tina has performed this 'show' throughout Europe and the UK to wide public acclaim.
This is a personal take on the songs made famous by the great chanteuse, sung in a gently 'jazz' way - but in keeping with the essence of 'Piaf'. Audiences have an endless fascination with the music of Piaf and Tina brings her considerable talents to the album.
"That great rarity, a singer who enhances a song." - The Observer
Tina May - vocals
Nikki Iles - piano
Karen Street - accordeon
Julie Wilkington - double bass |
Joe Pass & Ella Fitzgerald |
When Ella Met Joe
Ella Fitzgerald was an American icon after a nearly six decade career. She was considered one of the unique and innovative vocalists in jazz history and sold tens of millions of albums.
Joe Pass, the eminent guitarist with his innovative use of chord changes and phrasing would influence a generation of jazz guitarists.
Ella and Joe came together during 1973 and over the next 13 years would record four studio albums and several live recordings which are must haves in any jazz collection.
Celebrating the centenary of Ella’s birth, Tina May, the outstanding international singer gives voice to Ella's magical music, along with the fast rising guitar star of the National Jazz Orchestra, Nicholas Fitch.
For a sample of what's in store take in Ella and Joe performing Stormy Weather on this youtube link. |
