Tuesday 6th December 8.00pm

Suzanne Mellard and The New Standards Trio

Suzanne Mellard must be the best kept secret on the British jazz scene at the present time.
Completely self taught she has a unique voice among her contemporaries, developed from many influences starting with Sarah Vaughan and Betty Carter through to Mark Murphy, Eddie Jefferson and Kurt Elling. She has performed with many well respected names in the genre including, Dave O’Higgins, Bill Watrous, Dave Newton, Brian Dee and Darius Brubeck.

One notable highlight of her career was to be invited to perform with Dame Cleo Laine’s band featuring Alan Ganley, John Horler, Mark Nightingale, Malcolm Creese and the legendary Sir John Dankworth at The Stables, Wavendon.

Suzanne’s Dynamic voice encompasses many varied styles and shows her wide range of influences, from Soul and Blues through to Contemporary Jazz and Fusion.

“The ideal jazz voice…intimate and rich in the low range, with great control in all registers”
Darius Brubeck

“One of the most talented but too rarely heard Jazz Vocalists in the UK” Jazz UK Magazine
