| Showtime for Juliet Kelly's Jazz Kids |
It's been a while! In my last blog at the end of last year I spoke about a reboot. Be careful what you wish for! This year has been a reboot for the whole world. Along with everyone else, I've had to put all my plans on pause but I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in two shows for this year's EFG London Jazz Festival. Both of them will be streamed live on 14 November.
First of all there's the follow up to Jazz for Toddlers called Juliet Kelly's Jazz Kids that will be live at 1pm. It's an update of last year's show modified for an online audience.
I was also invited to take part in a project aimed primarily at African and Caribbean older people with health conditions that affect memory. My band and I performed Songs From Life - classic and familiar songs that could not only be enjoyed but that would also evoke precious memories. Songs From Life will be streamed at 2pm.
As for what the rest of the year will bring - who knows? But I hope you are all keeping safe and well and that better times are on their way for us all.
Here's a link to the song Smile originally performed by Nat King Cole - part of Songs From Life. It's particularly apt during these difficult times.
