E15 Jazz Sessions: International Women's Day

As part of our celebrations for International Women's Day, Ese Okorodudu, Faye Patton and Michele Drees will be taking the stage for a night of incredible music.

Musician, singer, songwriter and performer Ese's music is inspired by a range of legends, from Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone to Led Zeppelin via The Isley Brothers, Bowie, Prince, Skunk Anansie and Erykah Badu.

A compelling lyricist as well as singer/multi-instrumentalist, Faye's sound varies from Nu-jazz to blues, soul and pop, representing a formidable new talent that defies musical boundaries.

Michele is an established drummer, Latin percussionist, vocalist, guitarist and composer. Active on the music scene for more than 30 years, her music explores the relationship between jazz and tap dancing, and the improvisation and melodic phrases that exist in both art forms.
