Claire, our most Multi-awarded winning jazz vocalist and BBC broadcaster, celebrates the music of her much missed musical partner the late Sir Richard Rodney Bennett with a programme comprising many of his original songs and those of his favourite songwriters, together with Claire performing solo songs they together sang as duets.
Performing material from the forthcoming album dedicated to Richard entitled ‘I Watch You Sleep’, recorded with American conductor/arranger Scott Dunn and the RPO, the evening will include songs written by Vernon Duke, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mandel and of course Richard himself.
Accompanied by three of the UK’s most in demand jazz musicians, and already well established regulars for JBGB Events, the sensitive accompanist Rob Barron - piano, Jeremy Brown - double bass and Mark Taylor - drums these concerts will be must get to evenings to enjoy this heartfelt musical homage, from our most awarded jazz singer, to a giant of music.
