When I arrived at St James Theatre and walked down to the studio I wasn't expecting to walk into such a bijou venue, reminiscent of a jazz club!! As we got there early we grabbed seats two rows from the front!!! So close to the stage...
Red wine purchased and we eagerly awaited Rebecca Ferguson to appear on stage.
Rebecca is releasing an album called "Lady Sings The Blues" in March, and to promote the album she is doing a short residency at the St James Theatre! It is an album of Billie Holliday classics, a tribute to this jazz legend on what would have been her 100th birthday year!!!
I'm not a huge jazz fan but it was epic, Rebecca's voice is uniquely beautiful and suits this genre perfectly!!
I actually recognised quite a few of the tracks - "Get Happy""That Ole Devil Called Love""Summertime""Stormy Weather""Blue Moon" and "God Bless The Child".
Can't wait for the album and I'm hoping it is a success for this underrated and hugely talented singer!! This lady sang the blues but it was nothing but joyous!!! "Get Happy", get the album on March 9th!!!
