| Performance Notes | Embodying a stellar African musical lineage, the eclectic tastes of a London upbringing and a deep love and respect for the jazz tradition, Deelee possesses what Jazz Times called "a warm tone, genuine blues feeling and easy rhythmic authority". In 2016 she was the first and only winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in Newark, NJ.
A songwriter, poet and singer, Dubé is a regular performer at Ronnie Scott's, and made her Royal Albert Hall debut as part of the Late Night Jazz season in 2016. We are delighted to present her once again through this online series. |
