With her tender, heartfelt phrasing and expression, Ella Fitzgerald knew how to deliver a love song. Her interpretations of George Gershwin’s ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ and Cole Porter’s ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’ are just two examples of her immaculate delivery. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, world-class pianist, arranger and composer Janette Mason will be paying homage to The First Queen of Song and the many love songs she recorded. Mason is currently the musical director of the award-winning music venue Hideaway, and has played and arranged for the likes of Oasis, Mica Paris, and k.d. Lang. Delivering vocals will be the acclaimed Vimala Rowe. Described by London Jazz News as ‘a singer of quite astonishing versatility and adaptability’, Rowe is a favourite collaborator of jazz virtuosos John Etheridge and Jonathan Gee. They will be joined by bassist Simon Little, best known for his work in Northern Irish chamber pop group The Divine Comedy. Expect an intimate night of romantic jazz with an all-star line-up!
