"a new songbook, beautifully delivered: that's surely worth
waiting 50 years for" The Arts Desk
"These were songs of real beauty and sophistication, that surely
deserve to join the Standards repertoire - arranged, played and
sung with great passion and skill"
London Jazz News
Songbook is the exquisite playing and writing partnership
between two-time Grammy award-winning jazz
pianist/composer/arranger Alan Broadbent and stellar
vocalist/lyricist Georgia Mancio.
Alan is recognised as one of the world’s leading jazz artists
with credits as impressively far-ranging as Charlie Haden, Diana
Krall, Natalie Cole, Woody Herman, Johnny Mandel and Paul
McCartney. Georgia has proved herself one of the UK’s most
original, adventurous and multi-faceted new artists, with work
including Bobby McFerrin, Ian Shaw, Sheila Jordan, Gwilym Simcock,
Liane Carroll and her own international voice festival -
ReVoice!
Alan and Georgia first performed together in the UK in 2013
(including London Jazz Festival). Following an intense 9 month
writing period they created their own original Songbook. Alan’s
evocative melodies, sophisticated harmony and peerless arrangers’
ear find their perfect match in Georgia’s superbly crafted lyrics
of both beauty and bite. Together with much acclaimed bassist Oli
Hayhurst (Pharoah Sanders, Julian Siegel, Ray Gelato) and drummer
Dave Ohm (Gregory Porter, Ian Shaw, Anthony Strong) they
successfully toured the UK and Germany in Autumn 2015 and recorded
the Songbook album.
Through journeys and resting places, childhood and old age; from
bebop to brooding ballads and bossa novas: The Alan Broadbent /
Georgia Mancio Songbook sets the new standards of the future.
