Jazz in the House: Cellicious @ Lauderdale House
Sep 22 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

 

Two cellist/jazz singers join forces to express their take on the world of standards, Latin, originals plus more.

Kate Shortt, cellist, singer songwriter, cabaret artists and comedienne is known for her avant garde improvisations and off the wall humour.

‘…Shortt’s solo took the honours. It was an unusual but impressive juxtaposition of overtones, atonality and snatches of delicate folk melodies…’ – Ian Mann, Jazz Reviewer

Rupert Gillett, multi instrumentalist, singer, composer and jazz bassist is also experienced in rock, blues and Eastern European styles.

‘…The stand out performance came from Rupert Gillett. Great cellist with comical side and songs that were instantly playing in your head…’ – Fiona Jarvis, Blue Badge Style

Sit back and enjoy this Cellicious ride from bebop to the blues and Bach again!
