Catering To both Jazz and Soul aficionados, Kosins delivers her most intense and intimate singing other album “Uncovered Soul” and wows audiences with her impeccable, flawless phrasing and a deep-rooted passion for telling the story. Her eclectic musical palette delves deep into the rich history of both Jazz And Soul.

Kathy Kosins had learned her craft as a background singer in the mid 90’s with Michael Henderson and Was/Not Was. In the late 90’s, she moved to a more traditional jazz approach and released her first album of jazz material, earning her immediate success in the jazz world. Excellent reviews and airplay continued with subsequent projects which included a collaboration with Kevin Mahogany. Also, as a jazz educator and recording artist, she has been an artist in residence at over 180 colleges and universities. As a songwriter, her credits include a vast amount of tunes for recordings, TV and movies. With 6 albums and 10 singles released worldwide and having performed at jazz festivals and prestigious clubs globally, Kosins is thrilled to present this sophisticated material, heretofore never performed live in the UK.
