Marta Capponi
“Capponi...knocked out the crowd...easy to see why she is making waves”
LondonJazz News
Italian-born jazz vocalist Marta Capponi began her jazz studies in Rome and by the time she left college was already well known on the Italian jazz scene. However, looking for musical challenges further afield, in 2012 Marta moved to London, bringing with her an eclectic and remarkable repertoire, from classic jazz standards and pop to folk and Brazilian music. She was soon immersed in the London scene as both a performer and teacher, working with the likes of Femi Temowo & Robin Banerjee (Amy Winehouse), Ernesto Simpson (Richard Bona), Luca Boscagin (John Abercrombie) and Adriano Adewale and Antonio Forcione (Sarah Jane Morris). Her singing is fluent, powerful and captivating, and she has a stage presence to match. Tonight Marta will play music from her album launched at the Club last year, “Life Within”, but in addition, new music from her upcoming record, 'Shaking the Blue' for the first time live at this show (and on which she plays piano as well as singing). Marta's band features Bruno D'Ambra-hammond organ, Jo Caleb-guitar & Filippo Galli-drums.
