Tessa Souter Group: A Celebration of ‘Beyond The Blue’ with Special Guest Lynne Arriale
Show Time 7:30pm - 9:00pm / Doors Open 6:00pm
Since her last few sold out PizzaExpress appearances, New York-based jazz vocalist Tessa Souter will be back to celebrate her new CD, Beyond the Blue. Souter's gorgeous voice, and penchant for exploring strikingly beautiful music mostly untouched by other vocalists, has set her apart as "one of the few exceptional standouts in the crowded field of female jazz singers" [Los Angeles Times]. With three critically acclaimed CDs already behind her, the new album is being heralded as her breakout recording.
"Beyond pop, beyond classical, beyond jazz ... beyond breathtaking" [Pop Culture Classics], "scintillating" [Boston Globe], "stunningly original" [JazzTimes], it features Souter’s own haunting and evocative lyrics, set to jazz arrangements of music by canonical European composers such as Ravel, Debussy, Chopin, Brahms, Fauré and Rodrigo, and stars six of the jazz world's elite - Steve Kuhn, David Finck, Billy Drummond, Joe Locke, Joel Frahm and Gary Versace.
"One of the finest and most fearless jazz vocalists to have emerged in recent years" [Boston Globe], Souter is wowing audiences from the Philharmonic halls of Russia (four sell-out tours) to jazz clubs all over the United States with her dry wit, emotional depth, striking authenticity, charisma and "beyond beautiful" [AllAboutJazz] music. This will be her first UK performance in two years.
Tessa Souter (vocals), Lynne Arriale (piano), Alec Dankworth (bass), Jim Hart (vibes) and Winston Clifford (drums).
