Anita O’Day Tribute – presented by North Devon Jazz Club
April 29 at 8:30 pm
American singer Anita O’Day’s unique sound and swinging rhythmic sense put her in the upper echelon of jazz singers, as skilful with ballads as with scatting and liberal interpretations of standard songs.
Anita’s career spanned the late swing and bebop eras, inspiring many singers who followed her. Bristol-based Lucy Moon is just one of these singers and on 29 April she will perform a tribute to the great lady with her quartet at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore. Lucy will not just perform O’Day’s songs but also relate stories about the great vocalist’s “hard times and high times” and the jazz greats she collaborated with along the way.
To see Lucy Moon in action performing Anita O’Day, check out this YouTube video. Or come along to the Beaver on 29 April.
The gig is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee, however a collection is taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
