Rising star Gabrielle is rapidly putting her sophisticated Gallic stamp on the London jazz scene. Technically gifted and artistically at home in styles ranging from contemporary jazz to French popular song, she has performed in many leading London nightspots in addition to touring and television appearances.

Gabrielle works with her own duo, trio, quartet and quintet, as well as major London big bands. Her debut jazz album “J’ai Deux Amours” released on MGP Records features Gabrielle’s own arrangements of American and French jazz standards with in collaboration some of Europe’s finest jazz musicians including Chris Garrick and Nicolas Meier.

"The audience is transported from intense and passionate tango tunes to a forgotten era of beauty and tragedy in fin de siecle Paris, and on to elegant standards from the great American songbook. From Astor Piazzolla to Edith Piaf, with the band providing the perfect anchor for her interpretations with accordion, guitar and violin leading the way, you will surely have "No Regrets".

"Gabrielle sings with rare grace and elegance, whether in her native French or English, and her voice seems to just float in mid-air with the kind of ease and effortlessness that was rare even among the greats of the past. Just oozing sophistication, elegance and grace, beauty and charm, as well as full of drama and fascinating story telling, "J'ai Deux Amours" just about has it all."

Doors & Food 7pm. Performance from 8pm - 10:30pm. Admission: £10 Advance booking Recommended : 020 7916 0544. [email protected].
