Secular Hymns

About this event

Madeleine Peyroux is one of the most fascinating jazz singers to appear in recent years. She has a languid, elegant, sensuous voice with a dark quality that sometimes recalls the mythical Billie Holiday. Peyroux makes highly personal interpretations of jazz standards, blues and original themes reminiscent of folk music. Her latest disc, Secular Hymns, contains versions with a spiritual touch of themes by Tom Waits, Townes van Zandt, Allen Toussaint, Stephen Foster and Willie Dixon.
