  • Description

    Starring Joanna Eden as 'The Singer' and co-starring the Chris Ingham Quartet as 'The Boys in the Band', Jazz At The Movies is a unique jazz group formed specifically to interpret movie themes and soundtrack songs taken from a wide-range of silver screen sources both familiar and obscure.

    Their refined dramatic and jazz sensibilities produce sounds that celebrate the meeting point of songcraft and swingcraft. With a reputation for vibrant music, deep repertoire and droll presentation, JATM have become a regular sell-out at Ronnie Scott's, St James Theatre, the Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room and many jazz clubs, theatres and Arts Centres throughout the UK.



    JATM features evocative vocals by acclaimed singer Joanna Eden, bewitching saxophone and clarinet from star reedsman of the John Wilson Orchestra Mark Crooks and atmospheric textures and grooves from Chris Ingham (piano), Rev. Andrew Brown (bass) and George Double (drums).



    For their second JATM album 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', the band interprets material from movies made between 1946 and 1990. Bookending the record with a sumptuous pair of Bernard Herrmann's Hitchcock themes, JATM allow Ms Eden full reign to explore her diva tendencies on Sondheim's "Sooner Or Later" from Dick Tracy (1990) and the Arlen/Gershwin classic "The Man Who Got Away" from A Star Is Born (1954), along with her multi-lingual skills on Jobim's "Chovenda Na Roseira" from The Adventurers (1970).



    "Movie songs like these provide good material for the best jazz singers. Joanna Eden and her first-class band had a ball with them." - Jazz Journal
