Janet Evra
(past pick) Although based in St. Louis, Janet Evra is a native of England; her original music, sung in several languages, has an international flavor of farther-flung locales. The recent single "Summer Love Song" uses a bossa nova base and mixes in a pop hook and jazzy brass to go along with her assured vocals.
press release: Join the Janet Evra Quartet for a charming evening of French jazz favorites by Édith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Henri Betti, Pink Martini, and more.
From England, Evra performs on premiere stages across the USA and Europe. Evra is an Artist in Residence at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation in St. Louis, MO. Evra has collaborated with GRAMMY winners and jazz superstars including Randy Brecker, Taylor Eigsti, Yusa, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, Eric Marienthal, Diego Figueiredo, and others, and her music is played on hundreds of radio stations around the world.
The Janet Evra Quartet is Janet Evra (vox & bass), Carlos Brown Jr. (sax), Will Buchanan (guitar), and Tomi Kämäräinen (drums).
One show only, 7 PM, $15.
