STACEY KENT

Stacey Kent, vocals | Jim Tomlinson, saxophones | Mátyás Hofecker, double bass | Matt Home, drums | Graham Harvey, piano

Considered one of today’s great ladies of jazz, the American Stacey Kent seduces with her crystalline voice, precise phrasing and the elegance and exquisiteness with which she sings the songs. Closing the 7th Jazz Festival l'Estartit, she presents her latest album, Songs from other places, a collection of songs that explore place, belonging and the transformative power of travel, with themes by Paul Simon, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Kurt Weil-Ira Gershwin, Lennon-McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Raymond Lévesque and two original songs by Jim Tomlinson with words by Kazuo Ishiguro, sung in English, French and Portuguese.
