Event Details

Alan Broadbent is recognised as one of the world’s leading jazz artists with credits as impressively far-ranging as Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Woody Herman, Johnny Mandel, Paul McCartney and iconic collaborations with Irene Kral and Charlie Haden’s Quartet West. Georgia has proved herself one of the UK’s most original, adventurous and multi-faceted artists, with work including Bobby McFerrin, Ian Shaw, Sheila Jordan, Gwilym Simcock, Liane Carroll and her own international voice festival – ReVoice!;Alan and Georgia began performing together in 2013 first in duo then in quartet with much acclaimed bassist Oli Hayhurst (Pharoah Sanders, Julian Siegel, Ray Gelato) and drummer Dave Ohm (Gregory Porter, Ian Shaw, Anthony Strong). Their songwriting grew organically and within just 9 months they had created an entirely new Songbook set for release as an album in early 2017.;Alan’s evocative melodies, sophisticated harmony and peerless arrangers’ ear find their perfect match in Georgia’s superbly crafted lyrics of both beauty and bite. Through journeys and resting places, childhood and old age, from bebop to brooding ballads and bossa novas: The Alan Broadbent / Georgia Mancio Songbook sets the new standards of the future.
