An outstanding singer, Rebecca Poole (aka Purdy) simply oozes charisma, which combined with her sultry style and surefooted vocal delivery makes her truly impressive. With influences ranging from Nina Simone and Peggy Lee to Julie London, Nancy Sinatra and Henry Mancini, Rebecca's own songs have a vintage flair refreshed by a thoroughly modern attitude. Her 2015 album “Diamond in the Dust” affirmed her as a significant solo artist, and was followed by a tour supporting Jools Holland as well as performances at Wembley Stadium and The Royal Albert Hall. Her second record "Both Sides of a Clown" released here at the 606, wowing the audience yet again with her self-penned pop/jazz-influenced originals, and led to a singing part in the popular Netflix Series ‘The Crown’. Rebecca's latest album, 'Dreamer's Ball', produced by Grammy-nominated producer James McMillan (Liane Carroll) abundantly displays Rebecca's charms as a true jazz vocalist, and the songs themselves are absolute gems which are already receiving airplay on Jazz FM, Smooth Jazz & BBC Introducing. For tonight's performance, Rebecca is joined by her terrific band: Mark Edwards-piano, Oz Dechaine-bass, Matt Skelton-drums and Stuart Henderson-trumpet. One of our favourite young jazz stars!
