“Treasures of The American Songbook”Hetty Kate (Vocals), Maxime Moyaerts
(Piano),Victor Foulon (Double Bass) “When Hetty Kate takes the stage you can’t
help but notice. She has a stage presence only matched by the clarityof her
voice – couple this with her dedication to music that swings, and you have the
jazz musician’s singer.” – James Morrison Multi-Instrumentalist (AU) For these
intimate concerts, British/Australian jazz vocalist Hetty Kate has invited
celebrated musicians, pianist Maxime Moyaerts and bassist Victor Foulon to join
her. As the trio explores classics and curiosities from the swing, cool jazz and
bop eras you’ll discover the joys of the jazz trio, a simplicity allowing each
musician, and importantly, each song to shine. “Like Peggy Lee on a Vespa” Marc
Myers, Jazzwax Magazine (USA) Described as “the real deal” and “one of the best
swing singers on the scene today”, jazz singer Hetty Kate has been pursuing an
impressive international career for over a decade. From intimate clubs to the
most prestigious stages such as The Sydney Opera House, Hetty’s career has taken
her all over the world, from New Zealand to New York. With her clear voice and
remarkable intonation, reminiscent of the singers of the 1950s, Hetty Kate
swings the beautiful songs of the American Songbook – from Gershwin to Dameron,
from swing to bop. You’ll notice that Hetty “honors the composer” by staying
true to the message and melody of his composition, and uses improvisation in a
way that never interferes with the lyrics. It is this rare quality and a
compelling ease on stage that has attracted the attention of musicians and
audiences the world over. Over the course of her career, Hetty has released ten
critically acclaimed albums and performed at many festivals including the New
York Winter Jazz Festival (USA), the Sapporo Jazz Festival (Japan), the Prague
Proms (Czech Republic), the Melbourne, Sydney and Perth International Jazz
Festivals (Australia), the Cavell Leitch International Jazz Festival (New
Zealand), thePeniscola Jazz Festival (Spain), the Piacenza Jazz Festival
(Italy). Hetty also toured extensively with award-winning Australian jazz
musician James Morrison for many years, notably as the featured vocalist on his
symphonic concert (Europe/Asia/Australia) entitled “The A to Z of Jazz”. Join us
and enjoy a warm, entertaining and masterful evening of treasures from the
American Songbook. VIDEO LINK : http://www.youtube.com/hettykateTICKET: 18€
