Jazzbird On Song by Linh
Beautiful soprano Ali McGregor has spread her vocal wings to explore and experiment with different styles of singing and music genres, in this case the soulful rhythms of jazz.
Ali admits she wouldn't have considered jazz singing if it weren't for the immense enjoyment she felt following her impromptu performance of jazz songs at a friend's engagement party.
In her one-off jazz concert 'Jazz Cigarette' staged in the world famous Spiegeltent, Ali is joined by a trio of music's finest, namely Ben Winkelman on piano, Ben Hendry on drums and Sam Anning on bass. Their expert musical accompaniment throughout adds exceptional sparkle to Ali's scintillating vocals.
Performing jazz standards from some of her favourite singers including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Sarah Vaughan, Ali gives a thrilling and crowd pleasing performance.
Ali shows vocal versatility with deep and rich tones for Georgia On My Mind, silky smooth eloquence in So In Love and an abundance of playful sassiness in Ain't Misbehavin'.
Her rendition of Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is beguiling and Ali gives an impassioned delivery of Summertime.
Few performers can cross musical boundaries and singer Ali McGregor is a rarity whose vocal talents make her the impressive all-rounder.
