• 5th Nov 2009

“..Warren's talents are extraordinary. She has an octave-hopping voice that glides between languid and urgent, and music that hovers between funk, folk and jazz, between Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone. ..she's the real deal.” The Observer

Following her stunning debut performances on BBC Later..with Jools Holland in September, and the release of her album Circles on Because Music in October, Krystle Warren will release her first single Year End Issue on the 30th November.

The next chance to see Krystle in London will be at the Jazz Voice – Celebrating a Century of Song evening on November 13th at the Barbican, which kicks off the London Jazz Festival. Krystle will be appearing alongside Kurt Elling, Natalie Merchant, Sarah Jane Morris, Sheila Jordan and more. All the performers will be backed by Guy Barker's stunning Festival Jazz Orchestra in a celebration of musical milestones based on the year of 1959 – the year that saw the sad death of Billie Holiday and the joyous birth of Miles's Kind Of Blue.
