This April Bridport Arts Centre’s Monthly Jazz Café will feature Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion.
Zoe Schwarz was classically trained and a graduate in the performing arts, turning to Jazz in the autumn of 2001 having been invited by Keith and Julie Tippet to sing at a jazz evening at Dartington Intl Summer School. Zoë was selected to take classical master-classes with Estha Salaman; Keith’s comment to her performance was to ‘stick with it’. Totally inspired she returned home in search of fellow jazz musicians; she was introduced to Rob Koral. There was no looking back. It was only three years after her first jazz gig that Zoë had her first week at Ronnie Scott’s.
Zoe will be joined by established jazz musicians who will stamp their personality on blues flavored tunes delving as far back as Willie Dixon, Billie Holiday and Muddy Waters, and reaching forward via some originals penned by Zoë and Rob Koral.
Friday 6 April, 8pm. Tickets are available form Bridport Arts Centre’s box office Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm £10/£9 members and £8 concessions.
