All of Me: Jazz Rewritten by Jessie Gordon is not your grandmother’s jazz show. With her infectious energy and magnetic stage presence, Gordon creates an intimate, engaging atmosphere that draws in the audience from start to finish.

This vibrant reimagining of classic jazz is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, surprising audiences with its clever twists. A powerhouse vocalist, Gordon doesn’t just perform jazz standards—she owns them. Her rich, soulful voice navigates familiar melodies effortlessly, but it’s her witty, rewritten lyrics that make this performance truly stand out. From the trials of modern dating to the contradictions of therapy culture, she infuses these timeless tunes with a sharp honesty and humor that resonate deeply with today’s audiences.

While influences from legends like Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra are evident, Gordon’s modern take makes these classics feel entirely her own. Her original composition, Heart on a String, serves as the emotional centerpiece of the show, delivered with such heartfelt sincerity that it leaves the audience spellbound.

Backing her up is a stellar band whose dynamic arrangements elevate the performance to new heights. The interplay between piano, cello, and drums creates a seamless, energetic backdrop, allowing Gordon’s vocals to soar while adding layers of vibrancy to the overall experience. The arrangements are tight, fresh, and perfectly balanced, breathing new life into the genre.

Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a newcomer, there’s something to love in this FRINGE WORLD Festival performance. Don’t miss All of Me: Jazz Rewritten—a bold, clever, and utterly captivating celebration of jazz for the 21st century.
