Jazz At The George - Barb Jungr “People & Places”

From 28 May 26 7:30 PM to 28 May 26 10:30 PM

Legendary performer Barb Jungr and her trio, led by top pianist Simon Wallace, bring a selection of songs about places and people, both from Jung’s celebrated 45 year back catalogue including Cohen’s ‘ Suzanne’, Dylan’s ‘Blind Willie McTell,  and Paul Simon’s ‘My Little Town’ together with new material such as “Dylan’s ‘Scarlet Town’ and Jimmy Webb’s ‘MacArthur Park’.

“Barb Jungr interprets Dylan & Cohen’s work with a ferocity and truthfulness that demolishes every cover version you have ever heard…..” – The New York Times. One of the most accomplished British singers of her generation, Barb Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is equalled by her ability to re-interpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. Whether you are just discovering her work for the first time or you are one of her world-wide legion of die-hard fans, or  whether she is premiering brand-new, original material or revisiting treasured classics from her five decades of performance, an evening spent with Barb Jungr will be a revelation.

Internationally acclaimed, Barb Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live, recorded, and in theatre, continues to delight audiences. With deep musical roots and a career spanning decades, continents and musical genres,  Jungr defies categorisation or compartmentalisation, though many have tried.
“The brilliant jazz singer on world-beating form. Barb Jungr proves she’s a genuine jazz marvel…A true musical alchemist…..” – The Telegraph. Simon Wallace (Clare Teal, The Waterboys, Ian Shaw) is one off the most sought after musical arrangers and accompanists in the country and his collaboration with Barb spans nearly 30 years and their sympathetic musical relationship is a pleasure to experience. Joining Barb and Simon for this exciting new show will be the celebrated bassist Steve Watts (Joe Lovana, Kenny Wheeler, Loose Tubes).
