Double MOBO award-winner YolanDa Brown will be bringing some soul and sass to her latest performance, the acclaimed jazz saxophonist will be performing at Streatham’s Hideaway next month.
YolanDa, from Barking in East London, is considered one of the UK’s most successful female jazz artists.
In 2009, she became the first act to win Best Jazz at the MOBO awards for two consecutive years.
She is a celebrity ambassador for HRH The Prince of Wales and The Prince’s Trust, and was recently invited to meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace.
The University of East London awarded her with an honorary Doctor of the Arts certificate in 2010.
On the night, Brown is playing a selection of reggae-infused soul and jazz numbers, accompanied by renowned jazz guitarist and singer CiYo Brown.
She is showcasing some of her soulful melodies from her number one album, as well as treating the crowd to fresh arrangements of classic tunes.
A spokesman says: "YolanDa’s electric stage presence, sassy demeanour and glamorous exterior - combined with her exhilarating skills on the sax - has seen her tour with The Temptations and Errol Brown.
"She has also played with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra and collaborated with huge jazz names Courtney Pine and Mica Paris.
"This is a show not to be missed."
