Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
A sophisticated ‘Jazz Cabaret’ celebrating the femme fatale in all her feisty glory as heroine & heartbreaker, the show combines songs and stories about dangerous women who pushed the boundaries of acceptable female behaviour to the limit.
Sarah Moule & Simon Wallace “Songs For Scarlet Women”:
From Eve in the Garden of Eden to the Film Noir goddesses via Cleopatra and Mata Hari the tales of these rule breakers are highlighted by Sarah Moule as she retells these stories in song from a women’s 21st Century point of view.
“Songs For Scarlet Women is funny, moving and provocative …. first rate musicality together with vivid, insightful presentation …..” Chris Ingham – Bury St Edmonds Festival.
This upbeat 90 minute show in two parts is structured around songs by the much lauded pianist Simon Wallace and the late great jazz lyricist Fran Landesman whose lyrics are the last link with the Golden Age of American songwriting. The show also contains classic material by Landesman’s longtime friend and admirer, Stephen Sondheim and songs by Stoller and Cole Porter.
Numbers such as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, (Cole Porter), “I’m A Woman” (Leiber & Stoller), “Sooner Or Later”, (Sondheim) and “I Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl”, (Bessie Smith) are superbly sung by Sarah Moule, “Long established as one of the best jazz singers in the country …..” Helen Mayhew – JazzFM.
