Hosted by the irrepressible Nigel Williams – the voice of Jazz FM’s Breakfast and Saturday Morning shows – the launch of Swanage Jazz Club will undoubtedly be one of the musical highlights of the year in Dorset.

This special show will feature award winning singer Jo Harrop alongside virtuoso pianist Paul Edis and guitarist Nigel Price. Together they will be performing a set of heartbreakingly beautiful songs taken from her critically acclaimed trio of recent albums – Weathering The Storm, The Heart Wants and When Winter Turns To Spring – alongside a healthy twist of Great American Songbook classics.

They will also be showcasing a handful of songs taken from Jo Harrop’s much anticipated forthcoming LP, which she recently recorded in Los Angeles with legendary producer Larry Klein, best known for his work with a long list of iconic artists that includes Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux and Herbie Hancock.

With an achingly beautiful chocolate and cream voice that sends a shiver down your spine every time you hear her sing, it’s no surprise that Jo Harrop has received a raft of rave reviews and attracted a host of influential fans since she first burst into the spotlight a few short years ago. “She is a very fine jazz singer,” Iggy Pop recently gushed. “When she sings, she moves me.”
