Of Elisa Caleb and her album, The Times' critic Sir Peter Stothard said "There is just a sparkling hint of the First Lady of Song in Elisa Caleb. I've been listening to the star ever since". On a sultry night in Barbados, as a young girl listening to her small analogue radio, Elisa Caleb dialled into a station playing Ella Fitzgerald and she discovered how cool singing jazz could sound. Fast forward to Twickenham and 6th form college this singer to be happened upon a jazz jam session run by a bunch of music students and a shy Elisa took her first steps towards a singing career that has seen her travel the length and breadth of UK and throughout Europe performing at festivals and clubs, most often with her guitarist / producer husband Jo Caleb and various top-notch musicians. So we are delighted that Elisa has agreed to come and play at Bledlow Jazz presenting her very accomplished take on jazz favourites. Elisa Caleb (vocals), Jo Caleb (guitars), Paul Jefferies (bass) and Charlie Stratford on drums.

There’s a delicious agility to Alex’s playing. She moves through chord changes swiftly but keeps the listener anchored with great tuning and melodic lines that delight the ear and the soul. Alex Clarke has been playing the saxophone for less years than you have fingers, but she has already reached the dizzy heights of finalist of the 2020 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the year and is now a regular guest at jazz clubs stretching to all compass points of the UK. This concert will feature Alex performing jazz that’s known for its melody rather than its acrobatics and she has chosen one of her favourite rhythm sections of Alex Steele (piano), Paul Jefferies (bass) and Charlie Stratford (drums). It’ll be grrrrrrreat….
