Jazz At The Movies With Joanna Eden & Mark Crooks at Bulls Head Jazz Club

This unique group was formed especially to interpret some of the more interesting movie soundtracks in a jazz idiom. From Bond to Bacharach, Dankworth to Disney and Porter to Pinter, these musical gems of the silver screen are a great way to celebrate the meeting point of song craft and swing-craft. JATM features Joanna Eden on vocals, ‘the UK’s answer to Diana Krall’ ……. say Time Out.

This unique group was formed especially to interpret some of the more interesting movie soundtracks in a jazz idiom. From Bond to Bacharach, Dankworth to Disney and Porter to Pinter, these musical gems of the silver screen are a great way to celebrate the meeting point of song craft and swing-craft. JATM features Joanna Eden on vocals, ‘the UK’s answer to Diana Krall’ ……. say Time Out. Eden, whose mentoring of Sam Smith has seen the singer become the acclaimed artist he now is, is joined by multi-award winning saxophonist Mark Crooks, bassist Andrew Brown, drummer George Double and pianist Chris Ingham. From John Dankworth’s sultry noir ballad, “All Gone” (The Servant, 1963) through to the exotic kitsch of ‘From Russia With Love’ and the extrovert, feel-good swing of “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat” (The Aristocats, 1970) via a few surprises along the way, the highly exuberant and entertaining program will delight movie song-buffs, and jazz lovers alike. ‘Movie songs like these provide good material for the best jazz singers. Joanna Eden and her first class band have a ball with them …. and so does the audience!’……… ‘ Jazz Journal.
