This time featuring the fabulous vocalist Ellen Harris: 

Ellen was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, discovering a love for singing in her youth. She had voice lessons, performed with school choirs, local youth theatre groups, competed in eisteddfods and travelled to Vienna to participate in an International Youth Music Festival. Ellen has always loved listening to, and performing, jazz. Her childhood was spent listening to all the great female jazz singers and one of her first CD purchases was "Ladies Sing the Blues". Now living near Ludlow, Ellen has rediscovered her passion for performing, and is once again involved with choirs, theatre and live music. 

Ludlow Jazz Collective featuring:

Paul Brooks – Keyboard, Roy Johnson – Saxophone, Peter Cabara – Bass, Gary Santry - Drums
Our music comes from the four decades between ‘30’s &amp; the ‘60’s, during which time the style, form and harmonic content of the music changed. The Swingin’ Thirties produced many, many great melodic songs from the "Great American Songbook" written for musical, films or operettas and almost a century later they have stood the test of time and are still thoroughly appreciated by jazz musicians who treat them in many various ways. The forties saw the arrival of be-bop which added a new dimension with more complex chord progressions and harmony.
During the late forties and fifties there was great interest in Latin songs, many of which were written by A C Jobim and these became standard songs on the jazz musicians playlist. 1959 produced a further turning point in the music of jazz when Mikes Davies and Bill Evans produced Kind of Blue, the album which sold more copies than any other jazz album. The new concept of Modal Jazz was born and produced many new approaches within the form of the standard song.
