Enjoy a masterful evening of jazz standards and compositions from the 1950s and beyond.
Based in Paris since 2017, British/Australian vocalist Hetty Kate came up in the vibrant Melbourne jazz scene where she was mentored by some of Australia's most treasured jazz musicians. Alongside her 'natural musicality', clear tone and impeccable timing you'll find it's her warmth and razor-sharp wit that truly sets her apart, artfully blending poise and humour with a great love for the music and the audience.
Hetty has been touring internationally for almost two decades, gracing stages large and small from New Zealand to New York, from Paris to Prague. She has toured and recorded with Australian jazz luminary James Morrison, performed with saxophonist Rick Margitza and guitarist Peter Bernstein, as well as classical pianists Simon Tedeschi (AU) and Charl de Plessis (SA). Hetty portrayed actress Ava Gardner for an original musical written by Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock), was the featured vocalist in James Morrison's award winning symphonic concert 'The A to Z of Jazz', and played herself in Herve Hadmar's television series 'Romance' on France2.
Uptown Jazz Cafe holds a very special place in Hetty's heart, both as a performer and an audience member. A beautifully curated haven, this intimate club has always been a source of inspiration and comfort during her career. It's a pleasure to be invited back and this will be an exciting evening of beauty and surprises with Melbourne jazz musicians Mark Fitzgibbon, Ben Robertson and Danny Fischer.
