Peterborough Jazz Club: Zoe Francis Quintet featuring Jim Mullen
Fri 13 DecZoe Francis Quintet featuring Jim Mullen
Zoe Francis (vocals), Jim Mullen (guitar), Gareth Williams (piano), Steve Watts (double bass), Steve Brown (drums).
For our ‘Christmas’ concert, we are showcasing the wonderful female vocalist, Zoe Francis, who is making her first visit to the Club. Zoe Francis started singing jazz while living and working in New York, and soon became a regular fixture on the scene, working with many of the finest musicians there, including Harry Allen, Warren Vache and Chris Flory. Zoe has released four albums so far to critical acclaim, all showcasing her beautiful voice as well as her exquisite choice of material. With her love of the Great American Songbook, from the pen of Strayhorn, Mercer, Van Heusen, Allen and others, Zoe’s ability for capturing the bittersweet, poignant nature of these songs brings them to life and elevates her performances to the truly exceptional. Joining Zoe for tonight’s concert will be the iconic Scottish guitarist Jim Mullen, along with a brilliant rhythm section.
