Singing sensation Anaïs Reno, who has had a rapidly growing career as a singer with a love for jazz and the Great American Songbook, is joined by Jazz pianist, composer and educator Pete Malinverni. For this special show on the last night of EFG London Jazz Festival, Anaïs will present music from her new album, recorded at the same venue in summer 2023.
"Reno delivers with rare maturity throughout and delivers with uncanny depth on the melancholy torch song "I'm Never Happy Any More.” And she swings with ferocity and sass of an Anita O'Day on the up-tempo closer, "Never Been In Love.” -
BILL MILKOWSKI, DOWNBEAT
