Joanna Eden & Andrs Lafone Spectacular performing duo, absolute superstars. A creative, formidable partnership making beautiful music - two singers, pianist, bassist, two connected and skilful songwriters. Joanna is a pianist & vocalist, a vocal coach to many 'names', a teacher, composer. Andrs is a renowned and sought-after bass player; together they are a force of music. In BJF 2022, they played our Charity Concert, organised by John & Jas Anderson. It was a sellout and the audience asked for more. Well, what about the jazz Club, we thought! So now we're thrilled to feature this amazing partnership at our home base. About Joanna Eden With six solo albums to her credit, Joanna is considered one of the finest singerpianists in the UK with a style that covers jazz, soul, bossa nova and blues. Beautifully crafted compositions give life to personal and expressive lyrics, which - like her songwriting hero Joni Mitchell - question and reflect lifes changes. Joannas interaction with her audience is warm and she has built up a huge following over her 20 year, performing regularly at Ronnie Scotts Club, The Stables & Apex concert halls. The quality of Joannas live work is reflected by the stellar list of artists she and her band have supported - including Van Morrison, Tom Jones, Jamie Cullum, Roy Hargrove and The Buena Vista Social Club. Joanna also holds a passion for teaching and amongst her students she includes international star Sam Smith, who she taught singing for some 9 years, starting when he was just 10 years old. During this period she also introduced him to songwriting; co-writing and producing his first demos. She is rightly very proud that he subsequently became the highest selling debut artist in US history! The Grammy and Oscar winning star has cited Joanna simply as the reason I sing. Brilliant!!
