SCARBOROUGH JAZZ

Esther Bennett + MG3
We welcome vocalist Esther Bennett. Raised in the heart of Birmingham’s jazz scene, she has become one of the London scene’s most highly respected and widely loved vocalists, with four albums to her name and appearing regularly at the 606 jazz club. This is her first gig in Scarborough and follows through on her recent advice to fellow London-based jazz singers to get out more! https://closeupculture.com/2024/01/22/regional-gigging-on-a-budget/

Esther’s contributions are always innovative and thought provoking, combining well-loved standards with some of her own songs, juxtaposing sensitivity with a sparky sense of humour. ‘A great Sarah Vaughan influenced singer’ (Time Out). ‘…a smokily appealing lower register and a winning sense of humour’. (Jazz Wise Magazine).

Esther is accompanied by our house band: Mark Gordon on piano, Bob Walker on bass, and Tom Townsend on drums.
