Andra Sparks Quintet, Southampton Jazz Club, Southampton University
PERFECT pitch and phrasing from Andra and immaculate backing from her band entertained more than 100 jazz fans.
Former classical singer Andra proved you don't have to belt it out to hold an audience on Fascinate Me and Love For Sale. The poignant People We Once Knew and bouncy perennial Just One of Those Things closed the first half. Each musician in the piano, bass, drums and sax line-up got a chance to shine in the second set, with mellow saxophonist Pete Hunt particularly impressive, while Andra's intimate and seductive vocals continued to charm.
