Emilie-Claire Barlow returns to Parker Jazz Club for a special intimate trio performance with her longtime bandmates, bassist Jon Maharaj and celebrated guitarist (and recent recipient of the Order of Canada) Reg Schwager. The trio will present Emilie-Claire’s most highly requested repertoire from her 13 albums. Featuring tunes from her recent release Spark Bird, songs of the 60’s reimagined from The Beat Goes On, dreamy bossa novas and French chanson. Emilie-Claire delights and transports audiences with her relaxed, charming demeanour, her sense of humour, and a voice of unforgettable beauty. Her personality effuses happiness and it’s backed up by her choice of songs and their arrangements, often incorporating Brazilian bossa novas and sambas and other easy-flowing rhythms evoking an afternoon of warm sunshine and no phone calls or emails to return. - Geoff Anderson, Denver See you at the show!
