Jacqui Dankworth and her world-class trio, plus special guests the Carducci Quartet, are coming to The Stables at Wavendon for a night of spectacular music to celebrate the release of her stunning new album, Windmills.
Jacqui is one of the most highly regarded vocalists in the UK. Known primarily as a jazz singer, her unique musical palette also draws on folk, soul, classical, blues, and other influences. Jacqui's concert appearances and numerous recordings showcase her virtuosic, seemingly effortless mastery of a variety of genres.
The Wavendon show - on May 8 - will be particularly special, given that her parents, jazz royalty Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine, founded the venue.
Jacqui’s aforementioned new album is a vocal tour-de-force of classic songs by Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, Michel Legrand, Sérgio Mendes and others, and features some of the very best of UK jazz and classical musicians, including the BBC Big Band, the Carducci String Quartet, and the Bedazzle! string section, with arrangements by pianist Charlie Wood.
