Fleur Stevenson is fast establishing herself at the forefront of an exciting new breed of jazz vocalists taking London by storm.
Gifted with a honeyed tone, an offbeat sense of humour and a naturally charismatic stage presence, Fleur creates an instant rapport with her audience through sparkling narrative and an unerring instinct for choosing the right material to showcase her talent.
Her phrasing, use of space and improvisational ability nod to obvious influences from the greats such as Shirley Horn and Anita O’Day, but Fleur is carving a niche all of her own with her surprising yet stylish interpretations of jazz standards and her tender, heartfelt delivery of romantic ballads.
This will be an evening of charming vocal jazz as Fleur presents songs from her recently released album Follow Me, which received rave reviews and was launched in July this year at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho. She will also perform some classic American Songbook numbers, plus some well known sing along, feel-good jazz favourites.

“A wonderful singer with a great musical ear and natural jazz feel''
Claire Martin OBE

“Stevenson is in possession of a voice which has power - yet she has the control to drop down to a caress in a heart-beat. And she can scat; boy, can she scat!”
