THE SARAH GILLESPIE QUARTET FEATURING

THE MASTER GILAD ATZMON ON CLARINET, ACCORDION AND ALTO SAX

Sun 25th Jan 2009 £12

A seasoned performer @ Ronnie Scotts, 606 Club & the Vortex, Anglo-American songstress Gillespie performs a combination of originals & standards with her dynamite band featuring middle-eastern be-bop star, Gilad Atzmon on clarinet, accordion & alto sax. Expect emotive ballads & raucous gypsy swing incorporating pre-rock elements of blues, vaudeville & Balkan flourishes. An intelligent, witty wordsmith Sarah delivers her infectious songs with a powerfully sensuous voice & deft finger-picking guitar. Tonight she is performing with Gilad Atzmon and Ben Bastin – double bass.

“Sarah’s voice totally fills the room – extremely distinctive, smoky and seductive with a bluesy edge.” Get Rhythm Magazine

“Audiences are clearly bowled over with Atzmon's whirlwind approach ... dynamic, charismatic and ... exasperating!”- Brian Blain, Jazz UK
