One to Watch: the rising jazz sensation Georgia Cécile

Georgia Cécile - (Press handout)

“My show is really inspired by 60s and 70s, primetime TV shows, like the Ed Sullivan Show and The Cher Show, so it’s the Georgia Cécile show!” says Georgia Cécile, and isn’t that nice to hear? A proper old school idea of slick entertainment to bring her ultra-chic jazz to life.

She wants to introduce people to “the universe of Georgia Cécile”, and what does this universe comprise of? Well, music, music, music, and some very tasteful presentation. But its music that comes first and what music it is. While she’s certainly one of the rising stars of jazz, her music – mostly recently showcased on her City Girl EP – is hard to classify purely as jazz, when it has such soul and that retro-pop leaning. The cross-over appeal is huge. Take one listen to her tunes, and indeed one look at her videos, and you’d think she was raised in Vegas. Actually, she’s from Glasgow.
