Chris Ingham Quintet feat. Joanna Eden

About this event

This festive jazz entertainment is the perfect way to swing into the holidays. A seasonal favourite across the UK, acclaimed repertory quintet Jazz at the Movies present a stocking-full of holiday classics and curiosities in a delightfully jazzy blend of the sublime, swinging, sentimental and plain silly - the ideal start to this year’s festivities. Featuring Joanna Eden (acclaimed vocalist, star judge of BBC TV’s All Together Now and longtime teacher/mentor to pop superstar & Grammy Award-winner Sam Smith), plus the Chris Ingham Quartet, this is an enchanting show rich with anecdote, sophistication and swing, it was described by one audience member as "pure joy". Regularly featured at PizzaExpress Live, Soho, and at many venues across England’s Southeast, these two performances are the perfect way to start your week and swing into the holidays. These concerts are fronted by acclaimed singer Joanna Eden following her earlier concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of the seminal album “Blue” by Joni Mitchell and more recently, her acclaimed distinctive evenings with the magical music of Stephen Sondheim and Ella Fitzgerald. Supporting her are the groovy sounds of Chris Ingham with his quartet. Jazz At The Movies: A Swinging Christmas! gathers jazzy festive favourites as made famous by Ella, Eartha, Frank, Doris, Dean, Bing and a whole gang of cool celluloid cats and hip Hollywood chicks.
