Live Review - Juliet Kelly At The California Suite

Dressed dramatically in black with a feather head-piece, Juliet Kelly commanded the stage with a charismatic presence. The California Suite was briefly transformed into a dimly lit, cabaret style club with an intimate atmosphere. The perfect ambience to celebrate the Divas of Jazz.

Understanding the Vocal Break - Speech Quality and Jazz ( Part One)

Many vocalists experience a vocal break when singing and it can result in serious tuning issues and a fear of singing tunes with a wide vocal range. In female singers, the break can be heard on the notes G and A above middle C. In male singers,  the higher part of the voice is referred to as falsetto and it is frequently used in pop singing.

Darning The Dream With A Potent Thread

Sarah Ellen Hughes has been making her mark on the British Jazz Scene. Sassy, driven and determined to succeed, she left the security of a full-time teaching job to pursue a career as a jazz singer. As the principal vocalist for the National Youth Jazz Orchestra for three years, Sarah learnt her craft and developed her innate musicality and artistry.

Tobin Unravelled

Christine Tobin is a singer-songwriter with uncompromising musical inegrity and her latest project with pianist and composer Liam Noble consists of a deeply personal album of Carol King's songs from her 1970's recording 'Tapestry.' Released in June 2010, the album was nominated as Album of the Year by Jazzwise.

The Jazz Standard repertoire  is a well-trodden path, littered with vocalists aspiring to emulate the Greats. Steeped in a tradition of melodic subversion, off-beat phrasing and improvisation, it is difficult to inject originality into a genre that has been reinterpreted for the best parts of a century. On the UK Jazz scene, Brigitte Beraha has learnt her craft, paid her dues, immersed herself in the standard repertoire and brought something original to the table.
