Karen Lane – presented by North Devon Jazz Club

Karen Lane is North Devon Jazz Club’s next event at the Beaver Inn, on Monday 11 July. She is performing with musicians Andy Hamill bass Dominic Ashworth guitar and Andrea Trillo drums

After developing her singing style in Australia and a pending time in Singapore Karen moved to the UK in 1999 where has she has performed at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, the Pizza Express Jazz Club and London Jazz Festival and also venues all over the world.
Jazz critic Dave Gelly wrote in The Observer ‘ I know of no one else who sings with what I can only describe as her demure abandon. It is wholehearted but at the same time restrained. Precisely phrased but not over-studied, a fine and distinctive singer.’
At The Beaver gig Karen will sing a mix of standards and Brazilian songs, including the songs of Tom Jobim, who created the sound of bossa nova and co-wrote The Girl from Ipanema. She will be joined by guitarist Dominic Ashworth, bassist Andy Hamill and drummer Andrea Trillo.

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
