Remember the name. - Jazz Matters. Along with her all star band, Olivia comes to the Southend Jazz Festival with her brand new album ...And Writing And Singing And Tunes To Be Swingin. As the third generation to pursue music in her family (all of which feature on the album) , jazz and blues are deeply rooted in Olivias heritage. Heavily influenced by the sounds of New Orleans, inspired by Louis Armstrong and Dr John and the song writing of Nina Simone and Randy Newman, her sound is rich with soul. Olivias approach to composition story telling and improvisation seamlessly bleed into one, gleaming with conviction, character and captivation.

This appearance at the Southend Jazz Festival marks the final date in Olivia's UK and European tour.
