Lovers of music, be it jazz or not, will find much joy in this wonderful tribute to Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley. Group leader Francesca Quinlivan (Frankie), brings to life the music made by Nancy and Cannonball, particularly their collaborative album of 1962. Jazz by its very nature is interpreting songs, standards, modes and phrases with the instruments at hand, and that is what is so successfully conveyed by the marvellous, talented group assembled here on bass, drums, alto saxophone, trumpet and electronic piano (my apologies for not capturing all your names).

As Frankie said, she is not Nancy Wilson, but she has a passion for the music and that is what makes a song resonate with an audience. Furthermore, Frankie made it her mission to focus on this music because Nancy Wilson's name has not become affixed among the stars in the way Ella, Nina, Billie and Sarah have (I'll bet I didn't need to give surnames; you'll know them). Cannonball Adderley's legacy as one of the great jazz saxophonist/arrangers and composers is assured. Indeed, it was Cannonball that encouraged Nancy to move to New York at the tender age of 18 and sign up with his agent and thence, a recording deal with Capitol. Of course, it was her talent that got her the gigs; she could sing with the best.

Frankie herself, can sing with the best, with an ability to hit high, long and soft notes, running through a catalogue of songs from the eponymous album mentioned above, but also her hits from earlier records like 'Guess Who I Saw Today' and 'On Green Dolphin Street'. The band are given every opportunity to perform solos and all of them did wonderfully on the night.

Run, don't walk, to get your tickets to the next performance. Your reason for going to his is because you love music, you love jazz, you love great singing with a tight band and the story behind all the songs.
