Stacey Kent - one of the hottest acts on the international jazz stage comes to Chichester Festival Theatre this month as part of a world tour. Accompanied by her multi-talented band of musicians, she will be singing from her brand new album Breakfast on the Morning Tram.
Breakfast On The Morning Tram sees Stacey Kent�s return to the studio
after a four-year recording hiatus.
Signalling a fresh new era to her music, the album contains four
original tracks, including the title track, all written by the Booker
and Whitbread prize-winning author, Kazuo Ishiguro and producer and
husband, Jim Tomlinson.
Stacey�s association with Ishiguro began in 2002 when Ishiguro chose
Stacey�s recording of They Can�t Take That Away From Me on the BBC
Radio show, Desert Island Discs. Subsequently, he wrote the liner notes
for her album, In Love Again.
Stacey said: �Nothing has ever been quite so exciting as having songs
written especially for me by two people I admire so much. Both Jim
and Kazuo Ishiguro seem to understand me so implicitly that
it seems as though I have always known their songs. Kazuo�s lyrics are
like short stories and don�t follow conventional song forms and Jim�s
melodies seem to capture the mood of the lyrics perfectly. The musical
worlds they create just knock me out!�
Kent�s first album Close Your Eyes catapulted the young US Jazz
Singer to fame and she now boasts six best-selling albums, a string of
awards, including the 2001 British Jazz Award and 2002 BBC Jazz Award
for 'Best Vocalist'.
Stacey Kent will be at Chichester Festival Theatre on Tuesday 6
November at 7.30pm for one night only.
