The Year So Far
2010 has been a very busy year so far. Bossa Eyes , Emma’s second album is now released and is available either by email or by direct purchase from iTunes.

Plans are underway for promoting Bossa Eyes, which is just starting to pick up momentum on local radio stations and is available in all good record stores. You can order an autographed copy here using the Contact Us page.

So far in 2010 Emma has been guest artist with Daryl McKenzie’s Jazz Orchestra, The Clunk Orchestra, Don Jordon’s Lazybones and Dizzy's Big Band, which follows closely on a guest spot with Hot Club Swing, Emma’s first foray into gypsy jazz.

Watch this space for more of Don Jordon’s Lazybones, where Emma is backed by four stellar trombone players. A guest at the 1st April gig described the experience as “magical… Emma was mesmerising”.

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.
