Hannah Brine
Inspired by a mix of classic jazz vocalists and iconic 70’s artists such as Carole King, for her debut 606 show this evening singer/songwriter Hannah Brine will be featuring music from her latest album ‘Blue Sky Now” plus an engaging mix of jazz standards and Christmas classics. With a background as an award-winning Choir Director and vocalist working with Disney, Strictly Come Dancing, the BBC and more, Hannah’s new record is already achieving airplay on BBC Radio London and Jazz London Radio as well as receiving numerous enthusiastic reviews along the way (“That voice, just wonderful” BBC Introducing, "a shrewd understanding of the pop-jazz idiom" Jazzwise). Produced by guitarist Jamie McCredie and featuring string arrangements by pianist Paul Edis, both of whom are performing with Hannah this evening, the band is completed by Tamir Smith-bass and Billy Pod-drums. Over to Hannah: “the album’s timeless themes of growth and change, life and loss are expressed in both lush ballads and lively jazz anthems”. Sounds quite special!
“Serene, velvety vocals…a new singer giving the world her valuable point of view” Jazz Journal; "Brine’s effortless voice is smoothly in control throughout" Jazzwise; “Brine’s touching vocal captures the emotional gradients of each syllable.” Old Gray Cat
