Joanna Eden & The Chris Ingham Trio: Embraceable Ella at Stoke-By-Nayland Hotel

"sophisticated, stylish vocalist" - Jazz Journal

Joanna Eden presents a 'labour of love' show celebrating the music of her vocal hero Ella Fitzgerald.  From the throw-away "A Tisket A Tasket" which brought Ella to fame in the forties with the Chick Webb Orchestra to  later songbook album classics like Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" and Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me" , Eden mines the rich seam of Ella Fitzgerald's unrivalled canon with humility, style and obvious deep affection.

Mojo magazine describes her songwriting as having ‘melody, mystery and bite’.

This Tuesday will be exceptional, because Joanna will be singing the songs and loves of the great Ella Fitzgerald. Chris Ingham will be on piano, and Andrew Lafone will join us on bass. Our great friend, the drummer George Double will be with us. This is an ideal trio to support any singer, and as a group on their own.
