Zoe Gilby
Winner of the Parliamentary Jazz Awards Jazz Vocalist of the Year 2019, Zoe Gilby is a vocalist and songwriter who is starting to make a serious impression on the UK music scene. Her impressive repertoire spans a range of influences from contemporary popular artists such as Kate Bush to the seminal jazz composers of the 20th century. This evening she will be performing a powerful collection of songs with a strong narrative, including material from her latest album “AURORA” (inspired by the US composer and trumpeter Tom Harrell) as well as her project 'PANNONICA', a tribute to the legendary composer and pianist Thelonious Monk. This gig will also feature the Award-winning saxophonist Jason Yarde, who will be performing with Zoe for the first time.
“Aurora” represents another impressive offering from Gilby…it sounds perfectly natural and organic” JazzMann
