STACEY KENT - THE CHANGING LIGHTS
A multi-award winner (2001 British Jazz Award, 2002 BBC Jazz Award Best Vocalist, etc) and Grammy nominee, Stacey has built a huge fanbase for her cool, classy interpretations of the Great American Songbook, all recorded with husband, arranger, producer and now songwriter Jim Tomlinson (himself a winner of the 2006 Album of the Year British Jazz Award). Her new album, The Changing Lights is a musical journey through jazz, bossa nova and chanson, including a mixture of Bossa Nova classics from Tom Jobim, Marcos Valle, and also Roberto Menescal, who appears as a featured guest on the album. There are also new songs written especially for Stacey by Jim Tomlinson. The title track, 'The Changing Lights', is written by Jim Tomlinson and novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, the songwriting team that have been writing for her since her first album for EMI, the Grammy-nominated Breakfast On The Morning Tram. Stacey tours constantly, and as well as the Ronnie Scott's dates in late September / early October, she will play a significant number of dates in the UK this year (see the left of this presenter). We will be focusing our promotion and marketing push then as a preview to the forthcoming residency at Ronnie Scotts from Sep 30th to October 4th. We will also target such obvious music shows as Later With Jools and the full range of daytime and arts TV shows - including Richard & Judy, Breakfast shows, Loose Women, The Culture Show, Newsnight, etc. Stacey is a staple for all jazz radio in the UK. We will be focussing on 'One Note Samba' and 'The Changing Lights'. She will be doing interviews and sessions on everything across the BBC and jazz radio stations. We will also be going for Album of the Week, as well as plays right across the spread of jazz radio and more adult-oriented stations and shows. ~ cduniverse
