A special concert for International Woman's Day
Georgina Jackson with Aberdeen Jazz Orchestra
On International Woman’s Day, The Blue Lamp in collaboration with Spotlight on Her is proud to present one of the UK’s top jazz women, Georgina Jackson, trumpeter and vocalist as guest with Aberdeen’s own fabulous jazz orchestra, the AJO. Having sung in and led various sized bands with miscellaneous musicians, Georgina decided to record and release her first CD. With support from Jazz FM (CD of the week) and Sir Michael Parkinson “til there was you” climbed to the dizzy heights of Number 8 in the HMV jazz charts. The critical success of her first album led to Georgina landing her dream job as resident singer with the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, where she performs regularly. Georgina now works internationally as a cabaret artiste performing her entertaining trumpet/vocal shows on the world’s most prestigious cruise lines. She is also to be found singing with the Echoes of Ellington Big Band and is in great demand performing up and down the country with her trio show and with guest soloist and workshop dates with Big bands both here and In Europe.
“A talented trumpet player and a singer with a sassy, vibrant style. Her second album, Watch What Happens, puts all of this together and it’s a winning combination”
