Charity Jazz Night

Afasic is a London-based charity that supports parents and helps children and young people with speech, language and communication needs. Afasic provides a vital lifeline for families and children affected by these difficulties.

Salena Jones is delighted to appear at the Pheasantry in support of this wonderful charity.

"Disciples who hung on her every sound at Ronnie Scott's for years will know just what the velvet voice can do to jazz, blues, ballads and pop" - Evening Standard.

“America`s loss is Britain`s gain. Salena Jones, a sultry vocalist from the same town as Ella Fitzgerald, crossed the Atlantic forty years ago and never looked back. Her recent tribute to the great Brazilian songwriter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, confirmed her place in the front rank of singers. Infinitely versatile she can swing from jazz standards to more intimate material" - The Times.

Over her career Salena Jones has appeared on every continent and sung with Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong , Hank Jones, Sarah Vaughan, Maynard Ferguson, Mark Murphy, Kenny Burrell, Dudley Moore, Roy Budd, Toots Thielemans , Tom Jones, Antonio Carlos Jobim, the BBC Big Band and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Salena Jones is backed by her terrific sextet. afasic.org.uk
