JUDY CARMICHAEL RETURNS TO BOISDALE

3 -15 August · Boisdale of Belgravia

“Astounding, flawless and captivating,” The New York Times

One of the world’s greatest jazz pianists Judy was nicknamed “the stride” by Count Basie and has performed all over the world from the Carnegie Hall to the Guggenheim Museum in Venice. As well as TV, radio and film she has also performed private recitals for President Clinton, Rod Stewart, Robert Redford and Gianni Agnelli. In 1992 she was the first jazz musician to be sponsored by the US Government to tour China.

As Judy is one of the very few jazz pianists to be honoured as a Steinway Artist we will be bringing a Steinway grand piano into Boisdale for her residency. She will be joined on stage, amongst others, by the outstanding Australian guitarist David Blenkhorn. In addition to all the old classics from the likes of Fats Waller she will be playing songs from her new acclaimed album “Come and get it”, which will include her new composition “The Boisdale Blues.”
