‘SHE is, without doubt, the best jazz singer this country has produced in the last 40 years,’ says Digby Fairweather, one of the leading figures on the British jazz scene, of Lee Gibson.

And she will be the guest at Pangbourne Jazz Club on Sunday, 7.30pm, backed by the Pangbourne Jazz Club rhythm section: Jim Pollard (piano), Terry Hutchins (guitar), Rob Levy (double bass) and Brian Greene (drums).

Lee has featured in more than 1,000 broadcasts on BBC Radio, including ‘live’ broadcasts with the BBC Big Band and the BBC Concert Orchestra on Friday Night is Music Night.

She has appeared at The Barbican, The Purcell Room, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Fairfields Hall, Ronnie Scotts, seven seasons at Pizza on the Park, the 606 Club, The Spice of Life and at all the major jazz venues throughout the UK and Europe.

In addition to being one of the UK’s premier jazz performers, her talent is recognised internationally. As well as working with her own trio and quartet, Lee is a highly respected and accomplished big band singer.
