Emma Sidney - Jazz Vocalist

New Album
Emma's new album is due out shortly. Laid back jazz vocals float beautifully over bossa and samba rhythms. This unusual mix is inspired by the work of Brazilian artist Antonio Carlos Jobim. The result is an acoustically spacious album which seduces the senses with a mix of familiar and original material.

Art Deco Inspirations
Imagine the surprise of singing while a beautiful trapeze artist attired as an Art Deco peacock gracefully takes her place on a trapeze bar and is lifted high in the air. Below, a Ginger and Fred waltz by while I'm singing under a beautiful glass domed ceiling. Hundreds of glam lads and lasses in their Art Deco best swan about and the Art Deco exhibit awaits. It's been a pleasure learning some Art Deco tunes, seeing three wonderful concerts and hundreds of Art Deco fans. I even got a quick peek at the exhibit. The beauty and symmetry of the period in art and architecture is an inspiring aesthetic to contemplate.
 
Love Rhapsody

Love Rhapsody was released by MOVE Records in 2002 (MCD 211). Emma recorded most of the tracks 'live' to give the album the feisty spontaneous sound of a live gig. By choosing a wide selection of material the album takes the listener through many emotions, the theme being the cycle of love. Self penned compositions Love Rhapsody, Changeable Day and Lament sit well alongside many well known tunes.
