Three Women sing The Soul of Jazz
Immerse yourself in the scintillating artistry of three of Australia's leading women of jazz, Bridgette Allen, Jenny Wrenn and Brenda Lee, as they collaborate with prominent jazz composer and musical director, Mike Nelson (keys) and a sensational line up - featuring Garry Howard (drums), Adam Springhetti (bass) and Paul Millard (sax), each delivering with a uniquely creative approach to jazz and rhythm 'n blues with a twist of funk and latin.
The repertoire showcases the works of our world's well-loved composers, including Henry Glover, Jimmy Van Heusen, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Duke Ellington and many more.
