Georgina Jackson
“…a characterful force to be reckoned with”
Jazzwise
After acquiring what she describes as “a strange and somewhat unfashionable obsession with jazz at an early age” Georgina Jackson began her career as a professional trumpet player, but soon decided that singing could be, well, fun. So she set up her own band to sing with and the rest, as they say, is history. These days her excellent swing jazz vocals can be heard in a variety of impressive settings, not least as featured vocalist with the BBC Big Band, the BBC Concert Orchestra, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra and most recently, featured with the Guy Barker Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022. Her first album was Jazz FM’s pick of the week, and the single “Change Partners” from her second album, “Watch What Happens” shot to number 1 in the iTunes Jazz Chart with the album itself making it into the top 5. A fine trumpet player as well as singer Georgina’s gigs are constantly entertaining, full of music, joy and wit. Georgina has also asked up-and-coming Big Band vocalist Sam Griffiths to be her special guest! Wonderful, swinging, straight-ahead jazz from one of the most accomplished performers on the scene.
