Live Jazz Chelsea - Shakatak: New Year's Eve Performance Special.

Shakatak: New Year's Eve Performance Special Including Support Act, 4-Course Meal, Cocktail and Glass Of Bubbly.

Tonight they will be playing songs from their new album "Once Upon A Time the Acoustic Sessions" plus all their well known hits and for this very special New Year's Eve performance at the Pheasantry the band are bound to be on top form!" Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music but then Shakatak is a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of their music, their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an underground element. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily as serious jazz/funk musicians, enjoying both high cult status and instant recognition as a household name.
Singer-pianist and songwriter Joanna Eden has released 3 albums and is due to release her 4th Falling out of Grace this autumn. Joanna has performed her jazz influenced original music all over the world and supported world-class artists including Jamie Cullum, the Buena Vista Social Club, Ronan Keating and the Blockheads.

Sir Michael Parkinson instructed his Radio 2 listeners to seek her out and jazz legend Courtney Pine champions her recordings on his BBC Radio 2 show, while Jamie Cullum describes her as Brilliant!. She has performed live on BBC Radio 4s Womans Hour and Mojo Magazine has given both her original albums rave reviews stating that her songs have melody, mystery and bite!. Time Out described Joanna as the UKs answer to Diana Krall and Norah Jones.

Jill Saward (lead vocals and Percussion), Bill Sharpe (keys), George Anderson (bass) and Roger Odell (drums) plus Alan Wormald (guitar) and Jacqui Hicks (backing vocals, sax, flute)
