Immerse yourself in an evening of bops and beats with ‘Jazz at the Lounge’, a four-part series showcasing local talent, renowned musicians, and fresh new voices in the jazz scene.
With “a stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice”, Paris-based, Australian Jazz vocalist Hetty Kate presents songs from her newest release, a sparkling homage to the most effervescent of seasons, Spring. This album is the opening chapter of “Jazz in Four Seasons”, a four-album odyssey tracing the calendar year over different continents.
Recorded in Prague with four of the city’s finest jazz musicians, this collection captures spring’s beauty through carefully curated standards from Duke Ellington, Tadd Dameron, Dave Brubeck and more. Songs celebrating new life, renewal, and awakening – from tender songs that echo the first buds of spring, to melodies that capture the dance of spring rain. Sure to be an evening of beautiful music, classics and curiosities.
With a “stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice” Hetty is often described as
“one of the best swing-style singers on the current scene” (Will Friedwald, author and jazz critic USA).
British-Australian vocalist Hetty Kate brings a pure tone and natural artistry to the jazz tradition. Compared to “a good champagne: simultaneously effervescent and restrained” by the Sydney Morning Herald, Hetty’s distinctive approach balances her unwavering respect for the lyric, with spontaneity and wit.
Nurtured in Melbourne’s vibrant jazz scene, Hetty’s musical journey has since spanned 28 countries, with performances at major international festivals and a significant tenure as the featured vocalist in Australian Jazz Luminary James Morrison’s touring bands, including his award-winning symphonic concert “The A to Z of Jazz.”
