Katriona Taylor Quintet "Christmas Special"

The outstanding jazz vocalist Katriona Taylor brings her A-List quintet back to George IV for this very special Christmas show creatively reworking some of the classic Christmas songs in her own unique jazz arrangements together with some great swinging tunes from the likes of Bacharach, Gershwin and Cole Porter together with a special Latin twist. An established artist on the UK jazz scene, with 6 albums released to date, Katriona is equally at home on the intimate jazz club circuit or performing internationally to an audience of thousands.
