Event information

Henry Mancini was a great American composer, conductor, arranger and musician; winning 20 Grammy and 4 Academy Awards for the many classic Hollywood films he composed the soundtracks to, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Charade and Hatari! Join us tonight as we re-create that special Mancini magic, playing some of his timeless classics, and welcome back the wonderful Jo Harrop to sing some of his fantastic tunes including a selection of songs Mancini recorded with jazz diva Sarah Vaughan.
Jo Harrop is a London based jazz singer who has a warm and captivating voice inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.

Jo Harrop recently guested on the album ‘Call Me Lucky’ by Alex Webb & The Copasetics, delivering what jazzman.com called ‘a smoothly sumptuous vocal’ on the Webb original ‘End of The Affair’.

The album received four-star reviews in the Guardian and Evening Standard.
