Vanessa Haynes at 606 Club

Originally from Trinidad, where she worked to great acclaim for some years, Vanessa finally made her way to London, which is definitely our gain. She performs a mix of soul, R&B standards and originals with some jazz standards thrown in and with her powerful, cultured voice and commanding stage presence is quite stunning. Not surprisingly her talent was recognised by Van Morrison (with whose band she toured) but she is probably best known these days as one of the featured singers with the iconic soul/jazz band “Incognito”, having toured and recorded with them now for more than eight years. She works with a fabulous five-piece band that features some of the country’s finest “groove” players., including exciting young keyboard player Tomasz Bura, the wonderful Al Cherry on guitar, the terrific Ernie McKone on bass and the powerful Dexter Hercules on drums. Promises to be one of the liveliest gigs of the month!...
