“It’s a thing of real beauty” – The Express
Jacqui Dankworth performs at the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club on Wednesday 14th September, showcasing her brilliant new album It Happens Quietly.
A tender and expertly presented collection of songs both in tribute to and arranged by her father, the late Sir John Dankworth, Jacqui’s latest album has been wonderfully received by both the critics and the public alike. Following Jacqui’s recent appearance on BBC Breakfast, the album reached #2 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases chart, sandwiched neatly between Adele and Amy Winehouse, and on release hit the official national chart at #33.
“Dankworth possesses rare purity of tone…the dynasty enters a new phase” – The Sunday Times
Jacqui’s elegant, refined, yet deeply intimate vocals shimmer and glow in a rarefied space where jazz, classical, and popular music effortlessly mingle. With arrangements by Sir John Dankworth and a virtual who’s who of the UK jazz world at her side, Jacqui Dankworth makes It Happens Quietly a must-have recording for jazz fans worldwide, and her appearance at London’s most famous jazz venue will make for a very special evening indeed.
