Zoe Schwarz Jazz & Blues Quartet - with Rob Koral-guitar, Brett Nevill-double bass and Chris Davis-drums play at the popular weekly Westbourne Jazz Club 'Joe's Jazz' held at the Con' club in Westbourne.
The stylish and unmistakable partnership of vocalist Zoë Schwarz and guitarist Rob Koral brings together a hand-picked quartet of established jazz musicians, each adding their own personality to a repertoire that ranges from jazz standards to blues-infused classics. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Ray Charles and Muddy Waters, the quartet always retains a strong jazz sensibility, while also looking forward with original compositions by Zoë and Rob.
Expect subtlety and raunchiness side by side. Their music inhabits that fascinating space where jazz meets blues—or perhaps where blues meets jazz.

‘A perfect mix of head and heart’ - Jazz Journal
"Recommended” - Jamie Cullum, BBC radio 2
“Renowned singer Zoe Schwarz and guitarist Rob Koral create a certain edgy intimacy and bittersweet melancholy that is both very contemporary and quite traditional at the same time. Schwarz and Koral make it all look easy; blues, swinging tunes, bossa-novas, Billie Holiday-esque ballads all delivered with an expert flair while still possessing the wild hair necessary for true authenticity." – C.M. Bailey, All About Jazz, USA
