Jazz Morley at The Square Brewery

7:30 PM Friday 30th of July 2010

Dorset girl Jazz Morley possesses a voice with such natural soulfulness beyond her 21 years of age that it possibly comes as no surprise to learn that her first public performance was the first year infants nativity play! Fast forward to the present day and we find a rich, warm, emotive voice capable of the tiniest whisper of love to the full vent of a woman scorned. This year has seen her career blossom having supported Kate Walsh, Chesney Hawkes and Ben Montague. And a short-listing to the finals of the Shure Songwriting Award 2010, judged by Paloma Faith, has opened up song-writing opportunities with several Top 40 credited artists and one Grammy Award winner no less. But despite this attention, Jazz eschews the beckoning bright city lights and fast cars. She's a girl you're more likely to find padding about bare foot on the beach, walking through puddles in wellies or driving Barry (her battered but beloved van) to the next gig. Here are some nice things other people have written about Jazz: "With references to Dusty via Duffy, this budding singer is well worth keeping an ear on" - Phil Jackson, BBC Introducing:The South "I was struck by the control of her voice... she's got really good pitch and control. What I thought was really lovely was that she really kissed the lyrics... it felt quite sensuous." - Briggy Smale "A great talent with a voice that reminds me of Eva Cassidy."- Andy Jackson, Wave 105 FM For a free mp3 of Jazz's music, head to www.jazzmorley.co.uk Check out Jazz Morley's music: www.myspace.com/jazzmorley
