Nicola Emmanuelle | MUSIC (GIG & SHOW LISTINGS)
The talents of Nicola Emmanuelle have been obvious for some time to the many artists, producers and musical directors who have been using her crystalline voice for studio albums, film and television work.
 
Nicola’s songs evoke the work and sound of the original jazz pioneers of the thirties, forties and fifties, along with stunning and beautiful renditions of some of the all time great jazz standards.
 
Coming from a South African jazz dynasty, (her Father Nathan ‘Dambuza’ Mdledle was the founder and lead singer of the Manhattan Brothers) London born Nicola attended the Cleo Laine school of music followed by the Bourne school of music and Goldsmiths foundation, and enjoyed a Classical training by Elizabeth Anderson Kramer.
 
Her understanding of the feel and swing of the best of the past, and her own  contemporary iconic style and individuality adds to and supports a voice of mesmerizing
purity and beauty.  She can touch an audience with a torch song, before drawing them back to laughter with her endearing and graceful humour. Many acts have recently tried to encompass the enduring appeal of the great jazz singers and writers – few if any, have the capacity or talent to do it with such authenticity or affection as Nicola Emmanuelle.

James Taylor Quartet | MUSIC (GIG & SHOW LISTINGS)
James Taylor, Hammond guru, stands with one foot planted firmly in the new millennium – and other, just as firmly, somewhere south of 1970.  Releasing his 19th album in June 2002, The Exorcism, James has consistently remained at the forefront of the jazz funk scene since his debut fifteen years ago.  JTQ’s first album in 1987, Mission Impossible, laid the foundation for what would become their signature sound: funked-up, sleazed-down, keyboard-driven jazz that could be Webster’s entry for “groovy.”
 
Despite JTQ’s obvious studio talents – James has collaborated with the likes of U2, Tina Turner, Manic Street Preachers, The Pogues as well as with Tom Jones on the multi-platinum album Reload – JTQ are best-known and loved for their memorable live performances.  With James’ Hammond leading the way, JTQ jam out with driving horns, sly rhythms and kitschy-cool melodies.  Renowned for their film and TV themes, live favourites include JTQ’s debut single “Blow Up,” the mesmerizing “2001,” and of course, the inimitable, infamous “Starsky & Hutch.”

Natacha’s exquisite vocals are supported by a musical ensemble qualified for the task. Such instruments as the ney, cello, fender, riq, baroque guitar, accordion, darbucka, clarinet and a host of strings create a musical soundwash of landscapes that are sympathetic to each individual performance’s aims and requirements.
 
 David Arnold says: “The amalgam of the exotic, the coquettish, the private and personal, the rhythmic and tribal, the spoken and unspoken, the space, the voice, the sound. These are the building blocks upon which a Natacha Atlas record is made. Upon listening, one feels that a most beautiful secret has been whispered in a aquiet confessional.”
