About Blue Cafe Jazz Trio

Singer /harpist Magdalena Reising , guitarist Shane Hill and pianist Terry Seabrook join forces to create their unique brand of music
Jazz trio
Brighton
Public liability insurance of £10 million

The Blue Cafe Jazz Trio blend their unique style of performing Tin Pan Alley Jazz Standards and haunting originals to suit any occasion requested. Accompanying Magdalena on the vocals and harp are 2 of the best jazz improvising musicians in the UK - Terry Seabrook on piano and Shane Hill on guitar - each capable of holding an audience spellbound. At the centre of the band are the bewitching vocals and harp playing of Magdalena Reising that evoke Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald but in the end are as individual, fresh and original as the band accompanying her. They have each performed internationally as well as many of London s top venues including Ronnie Scotts, Cafe de Paris and Pizza Express Dean St. They are currently promoting Magdalena s 12th studio album called 'Songs from the Heart' which features as special guest - the legendry jazz guitarist Jim Mullen who has been and continues to be a great inspiration for Shane Hill. There is already great interest in this double length album. It is a labour of love from one great jazz guitarist to another enhanced by the glorious voice of Magdalena and the brilliant improvisations of Terry Seabrook. You can hear the audio of a medley from the album - giving you a taste of what you can expect. The album and live set also features new compositions so we will provide you with music covering The Great American Songbook through to folk and haunting originals. Prepare to be charmed and uplifted!

Magdalena and her Blue Cafe Band are a glorious uplifting Jazz Duo(Magdalena:Harp,Shane Hill:Guitar)) and Trio(Magdalena:Harp),Shane Hill:Guitar & Terry Seabrook(Piano)), that brings soft and enticing sounds and atmosphere through Magdalena's Silky textured voice and Harp Tones and Shane Hills generous and supporting guitar weavings; to bring forth the true velvet sound of Jazz Classics and original compositions.The Blue Cafe Group have played several times at the renowned Riverside Studios in Hammersmith London;enticing audiences with warm and engaging rhythms and rich lyrical song and instrumentation. Magdalena and band are mesmerising in sound as well as visual appeal, with the Grand Harp showering it's audiences with rich musical Jazz and Classical sounds in a beautiful textured soundscape. Unforgettable are the bands performances with a warmth and presence that touches all listeners and audiences who experience the rich heritage of suave jazz.
