About this concert
Fleur Stevenson and Pete Billington present a programme of sparkling arrangements from their award winning album 'For All We Know' with an evening of music that intersperses the duo’s delightful interpretations of classic repertoire, plus piano trio renditions of tunes by the greats such as Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans.
Playful and light-hearted yet with a frisson of melancholy, duets include songs such as ‘I’ve Got You Under My skin', ‘When Sunny Gets Blue' and ‘Stella by Starlight'.
Fleur and Pete are supported by excellent musicians, bassist Raph Mizraki and drummer Simon Price.
“Fleur Stevenson is a relaxed jazz vocalist with a bright voice, good phrasing and the ability to swing at any tempo.”
Jazz Journal

FLEUR STEVENSON Biography
A familiar face on the London jazz scene, Fleur Stevenson is gifted with a honeyed tone, an offbeat sense of humour and a naturally charismatic stage presence. Fleur creates an instant rapport with her audience through sparkling narrative and an unerring instinct for choosing the right material to showcase her talent.
Her phrasing, use of space and improvisational ability nod to obvious influences from the greats such as Shirley Horn and Anita O’Day but Fleur is carving a niche all of her own with her surprising yet stylish interpretations of jazz standards and her tender, heartfelt delivery of romantic ballads.
A treat for fans of first class, straight ahead vocal jazz delivered by one of the UK’s fastest rising stars.
Fleur works with many of the UKs top musicians including Gareth Williams, Art Themen, Pete Billington, Frank Harrison, Dave Newton, Clark Tracey, and Brandon Allen to name a few. She performs at many prestigious venues across the UK, including the legendary Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, 606 Club and Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho.
Fleur's latest album (2022) with multi-instrumentalist Pete Billington called 'For All We Know' received much critical acclaim and is included in the prestigious Jazz Views Best Albums of the Year Award, and also featured as one of Jazz Fuel's Best 30 Jazz Releases of 2022.
After a well received EP, Fleur launched her debut album at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho in July 2019. The album entitled 'Follow Me' features arrangements of well known standards, as well as jazz arrangements of some lesser known vintage pop songs. Highlights include a samba arrangement of King Crimson’s ‘I Talk to the Wind’ and a tender jazz ballad treatment of the Presley classic ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’.
As well as some great audience feedback from the album launch show, Fleur's album reviewed some top reviews. Highlights include:
"There is attention to detail in every track and very clear nods to the composers, yet each number is also imbued with originality… This album is class.” Something Else
“50 minutes of charming vocal jazz.” Roger Farbey, All About Jazz
"This is an absolutely delightful album from Fleur Stevenson... and will appeal to all who appreciate top drawer vocal jazz.” Jazz Views
''The honey-toned voice is a delight, excellent diction, feelingly sung, and the trio perform really well, with lots of space for piano solos.'' Bebop Spoken Here
