From the Jazz office:
A date for the diaries of all island jazz buffs must be Saturday September 16th, when we’ll be returning to the famous Ventnor seafront hostelry The Spyglass Inn for another season of our extremely popular nights of Jazz at the Boathouse.
Launching the 2006/2007 season of monthly live jazz gigs at this atmospheric venue will be none other than the fabulous Aydenne Simone, making a most welcome return to Ventnor after her triumphant appearance at the 2006 International Festival.
Aydenne is a truly awesome singer, and she brings her well chosen blend of original material and jazz standards to the stage with a sassy charm all her own. This powerhouse of a performer requires a formidable band, and Aydenne has the Jazz Culture Band. Led by pianist Roger Limb, they are a tight, fluid yet sensitive part of Aydenne’s appeal, and features Joe Harris on bass, Nick Polley on drums and Clinton Paul on guitar.
The rich sensuous velvety tones of Aydenne Simone have already wowed an island crowd at this year’s IW Jazz Festival, to the point that this gig is already selling well some two months in advance! Don’t miss this chance to catch a wonderful, powerful performer in a gorgeous intimate venue- tickets are £15 and available in advance only from the Jazz Office. Visit us at 6 Pier Street or telephone 856206.
