makes her first appearance at our Festival with the individual and stylish guitar of Rob Koral.
In support of their new CD release ‘Celebration’, Zoë and Rob will be performing a selection of jazz standards and the occasional self-penned song, in the intimate setting afforded by the delicate rapport of guitar and vocals, with a nod to the tradition set by the inimitable duets of Joe Pass and Ella Fitzgerald.
Zoë was classically trained and a graduate in ‘Performing Arts’ and it was only three years after her first jazz gig that Zoë made her debut at Ronnie Scott’s playing a week opposite Monty Alexander. ROB comes from a ‘self-taught’, more bluesy background; but subsequently made his name on the British jazz scene.
Zoë and Rob’s musical partnership has been described as: “one of the most engagingly natural partnerships in jazz, Zoë’s unaffected vocal style particularly well suited to the blues, and Rob's flawless guitar skills; their gigs are immediately accessible, enjoyable affairs.”
