Sandra-Mae Lux - Album Launch
An award-winning songwriter, vocalist and excellent saxophonist Sandra-Mae Lux was widely regarded as one of the most talented musicians of her generation in her native Canada. On moving to London she first made her mark with her debut album "Happily Ever Now" (2020) which explored jazz, funk, and soul grooves including the stand-out “I’m Still Here” which caught the attention of Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 6) and in the process built a loyal fanbase among Rare-Groove and Soul DJ’s and aficionados. However, in the last couple of years Sandra-Mae has gone back to her jazz roots, concentrating on her songwriting as well as performing, creating an outstanding album of brand-new, contemporary, American Songbook style material, "Seasons in Jazz", which she will be launching this evening. Packed full of swinging numbers bound to raise a smile, atmospheric ballads to bring a tear and everything in between, tonight's show is guaranteed to delight audiences with its mix of jazz standards, old and new! Joined by Rob Barron-piano, Sebastiaan de Krom-drums and Calum Gourlay-bass, this is a show you won't want to miss.
“Lux is clearly an artist with flash and flair” The Vancouver Sun; “Superb. Sandra-Mae Lux is definitely an artist you’re going to hear lots more of” JFSR Radio; “What a great voice!” Riviera FM (Jazz & World)
