Jazz with the Brenda Brown Quartet, Wed June 24

Wednesday June 24, 2015, at 8 pm, $10. Jazz vocalist Brenda Brown celebrates her debut self-titled EP, which was nominated for a 2015 Hamilton Music Award for Jazz Recording of the Year. She’ll be singing with her quartet: Brenda Brown (vocals), John Imre (piano), Olivia Brown (bass), Jon Pascoal (drums).
Her EP is a tantalizing tribute to great songs. The performances are chosen from Brenda’s eclectic and inspiring portfolio – the North American Songbook, Adult Contemporary, Classic Country, and an original composition penned by daughter Olivia. Watch for her at upcoming outdoor festival shows in Caledonia, Hamilton Waterfront Stage and Dundas Cactus Festival.
After three exciting years of public and private performances in and around Hamilton, Brenda Brown was determined to record with some of her favourite musicians. She collaborated with well known multi-instrumentalist Ross Wooldridge (piano, woodwinds), Carl Jennings (recording engineer), and corralled active GTA session sidemen Chris Banks (bass), and Glenn Anderson (drums) to create her debut EP “Brenda Brown.”
“Brenda’s voice is mesmerizing…” M.K.
“Relaxing, smooth, bluesy, mystical…” G. H.
