JUST JAZZ !! From Harlem to Hollywood A musical journey from coast to coast celebrating composers such as the great Gershwin, Cole Porter, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk, alongside selections of Joanna's own songs. Classic Jazz with a strong- swing on faster tempo’s, and a delicate nostalgic feel on ballads; inspired by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Sinatra and Judy Garland. This live performance brings together creativity, musical sensibility, and a genuine sense of fun. As Joanna says: When working in studio I do all I can to please myself. When working live I do all I can to please my audience.” About Joanna Rimmer Born and raised in Southport (UK), Joanna began performing as a child in musical theatre in Liverpool, developing an early love for classic Hollywood musicals. She later spent 27 years in Italy, working internationally as a fashion model for clients including Vogue Italia and Gucci, before fully dedicating herself to Jazz. As a jazz singer, Joanna has performed at many of Italys Jazz Festivals including those of Siena, Torino, Sanremo, Bari, Cuneo and collaborated with leading musicians such as Stefano Bollani, Paolo Fresu, and Charlie Mariano, and recorded 10 albums and appeared numerous times on Italian national television. She also wrote, directed, and starred in the acclaimed theatrical productions Marilyn Monroe in Jazz and My Judy, both of which received widespread critical and public praise. In 2016, she returned to Southport, where she now resides. Critical Acclaim “Joanna Rimmer sings pure jazz without compromise, with technical excellence and immpeccable intonation. She respects the original melody while rejuvernationg the great standards of the American Songbook. What truly distinguishes her is her natural rapport with the audience-bringing warmth, intelligence, elegance, and expressive intensity to the stage. The audience at the Offagna Jazz Festival rewarded her with a standing ovation.” Massimo Tarabelli , Ancona Jazz (Italy)

Joanna has great stage presence as well as knowing the true meaning behind the lyrics. Her voice is powerful but not overdone. She has a large repertoire. Highly recommended as a jazz singer
