A ROSE between TWO THORNS

blods · Bexhill

Two - shall we say ... 'seasoned'...musicians still at the top of their game who are not short of anecdotes and cheery banter - an all-engaging romp that proves sophisticated music doesn't have to be performed in a strait jacket. But now joined by a fresh new face on the jazz scene (and bringing the average age of the ensemble down considerably) JEMIMA BOWLER. A truly engaging personality and a major talent. Early days in her career but as well as being an exceptional vocalist she has a masters degree in music! She has also directed one or two plays and toured America; and you'll also find her later this year singing a lead role in Mike Hatchard's musical THE MAYOR of CASTERBRIDGE (new edition, at the Rye Festival). Jazz Breakfasts are something of a tradition on the South Coast with a long history. Various people have tried to copy the format but the original still reigns supreme! Come along and enjoy this inspirational concert.

Sunday Jazz Lunch | Frank Sinatra

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

“Stephen Triffitt is the best. The greatest. Because he captures the soul of my Father.” — Frank Sinatra Jr. Some performers study Sinatra. Stephen Triffitt inhabits him. Direct from Las Vegas, he brings a show built on timing, phrasing and the quiet confidence that defined Sinatra at his peak. From "My Way" and "New York, New York" to "I’ve Got You Under My Skin" and "That’s Life", the set moves through songs that were written to be lived in, not just sung. Backed by a superb live band, Triffitt delivers them with control and ease, letting the arrangements breathe while keeping that unmistakable swing intact. His credentials are not decorative. Triffitt starred as Sinatra in the original West End production of The Rat Pack Live and has sold out the London Palladium, building a reputation as one of the most respected interpreters of this music anywhere. This is Sinatra as it works best, up close, well played and without excess. Alongside the performance, guests can enjoy Boisdale’s two-course Sunday lunch, including the 18-hour slow-roasted dry-aged rib of Scottish beef, goose fat roast potatoes and classic sides, with vegetarian options also available.
