 Get the Flash Player to see these images.
Led by vocalist Kerry Hodgkin and varying in size from duo to Septet, this band plays contemporary jazz & swing with a blues/soul edge and the odd bit of latin thrown in.
Adapting standards and cross-over soul classics to her own style, Kerry's unique silk and steel vocals vary from intense and passionate, to gentle and caressing.
CD "...and everything" available (see CD page).
"Hodgkin displays an ample stylistic range, and a not-unimpressive vocal range too. What really impresses though, is the controlled, accomplished demeanour... she sings with what sounds like real conviction, a refreshing change from the mannered, contrived histrionics that currently dominate the popular music scene and sometimes infect jazz and blues too. There are times when she recalls Eva Cassidy and even - incontinent praise indeed - Sheila Jordan."
Barry Witherden, JazzReview
"She has a wide range and a voice that has more than an ordinary amount of muscle. But she also has the ability to control its use and adapt it to the tune she's singing at the time... If ...and everything is going to be the standard for this singer's future releases, then there's lots of good stuff to look forward to."
Dave Nathan, All Music Guide
Kerry is also an experienced vocal coach - see the ads page for more information.
