Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
Three of the 606 Club’s favourite singers, Rachel Sutton, Jo Harrop & Eileen Hunter, perform timeless vocal-led jazz standards. A delightful, fun-filled afternoon! “Sutton…a must see” Cabaret Scenes; “Harrop…Sheer perfection” The Guardian; “Hunter… amazing musician” Jazz FM
Following their past triumphs at the EFG London Jazz Festival, we have asked back three of our favourite singers to perform both separately and together in what has become an Festival tradition! With a rich tone and sense of swing, Rachel Sutton's performances include standards and show tunes along with her own arrangements of more modern popular songs, plus the occasional original. Her album “A Million Conversations” was received with acclaim, described as ‘a revelation’ by Jazz Views. A consummate artist with a winning onstage persona. An Award-winning vocalist, recording artist and songwriter, Jo Harrop has established herself as one of the leading jazz vocalists on the UK scene. She possesses a wonderfully clear, controlled and expressive voice that has led to 5 highly regarded albums, including Album of the Year (2023 Parliamentary Jazz Awards) and an invitation to tour with US jazz star Gregory Porter. An song stylist whose influences are steeped in jazz, blues and soul she is known as having an intimate, velvet, smoky, bluesy tone which, it has been said, is able to 'melt even the chilliest of hearts'. Eileen Hunter is not only a wonderful vocalist with a lovely, breathy delivery but also a highly accomplished musician, fluent on both piano and flute. Signed to Jive Records in 2003 her first CD “I Miss the Sky” was released through Jazz FM and she's worked at venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Regents Park Open Air Theatre as well as the 606 for many years. Accompanying these wonderful singers will be a rhythm section that includes Roland Perrin-piano. A delightful, fun-filled, unique afternoon of great music.
“ Sutton…immaculate vocals and bursting-with-life stage presence...a must see" Cabaret Scenes; “Harrop…a rare mix of delicacy and boldness. Sheer perfection” The Guardian; “Eileen not only provides an inspiring vocal performance but she is an amazing musician" JazzFM
