Barb Jungr

For this year’s EFG London Jazz Festival appearance at The Crazy Coqs, Barb has decided to eschew the idea of a “themed” show in favour of a pass the parcel kind of gig where nobody, other than Barb and the band, knows what they are going to get! Barb will be joined by her trio led by Jenny Carr on piano.

One of the most extraordinary British singers of her generation. Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is only outshone by her ability to reinterpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. Internationally acclaimed, Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live and recorded continues to delight audiences. With some 8 recordings on the Scottish Jazz Label Linn Records, 2 on Naim, and several more on her own Kristalyn Records, Jungr continues to expand and extend the concept of “interpretation” of classic contemporary song.
