Penny King Quartet - Beyond the StandardOne of Perth’s most loved jazz vocalists returns to the Ellington Jazz Club to end your weekend on a high! Join Penny as she takes you on a rollercoaster journey through her eclectic jazz favourites, with tunes from Sonny Rollins, Stephen Sondheim, Thelonious Monk, Joni Mitchell, tunes from her Bell nominated album ‘Journey’ and much much more.
It has been a while since the quartet have performed in this format, and Penny is beyond thrilled to be joined by
Tom O’Halloran – Piano
Pete Jeavons – Bass
Daniel Susnjar – Drums
Penny and her long time collaborators have been a mainstay on the Perth jazz scene for over 25 years – don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy her engaging stage presence and sound that has been carefully honed over many years of performance and recording.
It's an early Sunday show, so come and get cozy at the Ellington!

‘King is simply an excellent tradition-rooted jazz singer, whose phrasing and scat are jazz elements delivered with rich, pitch-perfect, humanly nuanced ease.’
– Katie Bull, The New York City Jazz Record
‘Opening the proceedings with the beautiful “My Old Man”, King’s lilting tones roamed and soared to achieve the technically difficult Mitchell song style. To begin with she was only accompanied by the marvellous Tom O’ Halloran. What a virtuoso keyboard artist. His work is thrilling.’
– Claire Condry, Australian Stage
