Festival Jazz Evening – An Oscar for Ella with Joanna Eden and Craig Milverton

Celebrating the pairing of two of jazz’s most iconic artists, Ella Fitzgerald, the first lady of song, and Oscar Peterson, a Jazz piano legend. When Oscar and Ella first met for Jazz at the Philharmonic, they found they were a natural pairing, and a legendary team was born. They worked together from the 1950s to the 1980s, recording many times and performing numerous concerts together. The repertoire of An Oscar for Ella includes: Tenderly, Stomping at the Savoy, Dream a Little Dream, Lush Life and many other songs from the wonderful jazz songbook. With six solo albums to her credit, and over 20 years performing regularly at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s Club, Joanna Eden is considered one of the finest singer-pianists in the UK. Join her, along with multi-time British Jazz award-winning pianist Craig Milverton, Ashley John Long on bass and Gary Evans on drums, for an evening to remember.
