Anita Wardell Quartet

Anita Wardell  with Robin Aspland piano, Zoltan Dekany bass and Steve Brown drums

Seven Arts, Thursday  25th March 8pm

If you like real swinging improvising jazz singers then Aninta Wardell is your woman. Steeped in the bebop tradition she scats just like a horn player, with great lines, a great feel and interacts with her band. You won't have heard jazz vocals as exciting as this in a long time. Not only can she improvise like a demon, she can sing a ballad with such tenderness and honesty and you know you are right there with her. 

One of the UK’s most creative and best loved vocalists, her recent album "Kinda Blue" has had rave reviews : "...the singer's mercurial musicality and acute sense of improvisation freedom can at times take the breath away." Jazzwise

The band is swinging too - watch out for Robin Aspland on piano, and the fine duo of Zoltan Dekany on bass and Steve Brown drums.
