Colette, Johnny Taylor on piano and Andrew Csibi will be doing a live gig in store at Tower Record, Wicklow Street. We'll be playing songs from the new album in a short sweet little set for a half hour.  We'd love to share the fun, so come down and join in on Saturday afternoon at 3pm.  It's free in and first in get the best view!

"The debut album from Colette Henry heralds the arrival of a jazz singer to be reckoned with on the Irish scene. What is most striking is the purity of her delivery and the warmth of her tone on a bunch of songs that thankfully avoid the usual treadmill of clapped-out classics. Her own compositions 'Damaged Love', 'You deserve better' and the title track suggest that Henry should also be taken seriously as a composer. She is also an assured interpreter. See how she probes fresh depths in the Anthony Newley gem 'Feeling Good'. She is backed by appropriately intimate double bass and drums with Johnny Taylor's piano sparkling through. Better still we get a jazz singer who doesn't sound like she's singing love songs to him/herself. GO FETCH" - 4.5/5 stars - Jackie Hayden, Hotpress.

"Her debut album is proof of the wisdom of spending time on voice-training and style development... Lush Life has been sung by some of the greatest. Without copying any of them, Colette Henry interprets it in her own way, making it sound as natural as breathing. Her pure voice falls gently on the ear, while her precise diction and feeling for the lyrics bring out all the nuances of Billy Strayhorn's haunting song." - Grainne Farren, Sunday Independent 27th March 2011.

"We heart Colette Henry's album. It's an impressive debut that trascends genres and finds its own rather unique groove." - IMAGE magazine April 2011.

"Sublime Album, perfect late night music." - Ollie Dowling, Totally Dublin, March 2011 .

"Good phrasing and secure pitching reinforce an intimate style that shows a well-crafted respect for the material. Fans should love it." - The Ticket, Irish Times.

Dlight Studios is a great new venue and the Colette Quartet are looking forward to playing there. We will have the very special Phil Ware on piano and are preparing some aural treats for you! It will be an evening of smooth jazz spiced with summery Latin rhythms and sultry soulful sounds. The well-loved classic songs are interwoven with Colette’s original thematic compositions, so each show is an exciting rendezvous of old and new creations. You'll feel the emotional pull of Billie Holliday, the lyricism of Ella Fitzgerald and the sassiness of Sarah Vaughn which give the Colette Quartet a repertoire that is unique and refreshing. Tickets are available online at d-lightstudios.com. Price Online: €8 €6 for the groups of 5 people or more or €10 at the door…and just never forget to BYOB ! 46 NORTH GREAT CLARENCE STREET Dublin 1
