Fronted by acclaimed singer Joanna Eden (‘the UK’s answer to Norah Jones and Diana Krall’ – Time Out) the band features the groovy sounds of the Chris Ingham trio, and special guest Mark Crooks, the clarinet and saxophone star of the internationally acclaimed John Wilson Orchestra.With a reputation for vivid music, deep repertoire and droll presentation, Jazz at the Movies and their Swinging Christmas show is the perfect way to begin the festivities.
