Heather Simmons, Debbie Bines and The Hottest Gentlemen in Jazz

Tim Huskisson (piano)

Roger Curphey (bass)

Alan Clarke (drums)

Heather Simmons has become one of the top vocalists to sing jazz from the 1920s through to the 1940s dance band era. A hugely entertaining performer, “she can belt out a raunchy Bessie Smith blues, make you laugh with Rose Murphy’s Busy Line or have you fall in love with a velvety ballad such as Embraceable You.”

For this performance at The Jazz Centre the Reverend Heather Simmons ( RevHev!) is on stage with Debbie Bines and The Hottest Gentlemen in Jazz. A wonderful afternoon concert will transport you back to the Golden Era of Jazz but with vocal jazz duets you may never have heard before. Heather and Debbie will be singing renditions from Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and many more. They will also be bringing some new arrangements by Heather's Grammy-nominated husband Dave Cooke. The Hottest Gentlemen in Jazz feature Tim Huskisson, Roger Curphey and Alan Clarke - a steaming trio! If you want to get dressed up on a Saturday, listen to some wonderful swinging jazz, laugh and learn from the anecdotes then don't miss this sparkling show.
