A
gig
held at The Trinity Centre
on Tuesday 3rd May. The event starts at 19:30.
Lady Blackbird is a revelatory new voice on the global jazz scene. Reflecting influences as varied as Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, and Chaka Khan; the LA-based artist possesses a style and emotional intensity that is very much her own.
Produced by Chris Seefried and featuring a stellar band including former Miles Davis pianist Deron Johnson, Lady's forthcoming album, Black Acid Soul, presents a wholly fresh take on the jazz vocal idiom. 2020 single, Blackbird, is a stirring interpretation of Nina Simone's powerful civil rights anthem. The track embodies passion, enthusiasm, and hope from an artist blessed with a bold, unmistakable voice.
