PREVIEW: Aneesa Chaudhry Jazz Band

Aneesa Chaudhry will be appearing with her Jazz Band at the Brunswick in Hove on December 7.

ANEESA has built a career as a singer and performer. She embraces many musical forms, from jazz, swing, soul, eastern fusion, and duos to the full on sounds of big band – and is at home with them all. In fact Aneesa incorporates all of those influences to create her unique performance style.

She has sung all over the UK and has a busy diary playing festivals, clubs and private functions both on and off the gay scene. She says that being gay is an important part of her life but not one that defines her as an artiste. The defining parts of her art is her love of great music of all kinds. A love that sees her diversifying her talents to her role as musical director of The Rainbow Chorus, to vocal coaching and event organisation.

But it is on stage that you experience the real Aneesa, whether covering classic jazz or classic Joni Mitchell, Aneesa’s voice is expressive and secure. Add to this, she is a born entertainer, witty and charming, full of fun one moment but able to turn on a sixpence and tug at your heart strings the next.

She looks great too, one minute the cheeky and coquettish Tom Boy, next the sultry jazz chanteuse, then eastern pop diva. She flirts deliciously with her audiences, wooing them before hauling them to a raunchy climax as she exposes her rocky roots. It’s a fearless approach to music and one that serves her and her audiences well.

This great combination has produced an entertainer with a broad appeal and of course repertoire.
