Our next show is this Saturday 17 January at Hootannay Brixton. We will be performing our Tribute To Otis Redding plus a few Jezebel tunes, and best of all it is absolutely free to get in!
So forget the January blues, abandon the sofa and come and get your groove on in a truly uplifting live music experience, as Rev Chunky, the UK's most charismatic funk front man, delivers a belly full of raw soul and hard funk backed by Hammond 'n' horns from the Jezebel Sextet.
Shame you can't make Friday at the Pigalle Club with Rev Chunky for the Otis tribute - thanks for your input in rehearsals. It's recommended in Time Out - sounding powerful!
We fly out to the Saint Paul Soul Jazz fest on 10-12 July if you fancy a last minute Otis themed raw funk weekender.
Catch up with you soon. H
PS Think you are not on our mailing list - you can sign up at www. jezebelsextet. com/ we will be releasing a few concession tickets to our mailing list members for our Jazz Cafe show on 7 August when we get back from France.
I hope I find you well and having a good week so far.
I have uploaded a new track called 'Find your way home' I was asked to write a track for an organisation called 'Forever Searching' for their official website www.foreversearching.com, who are instrumental in keeping the profiles of missing children high and prevelent in the media.
I would be really interested in your thoughts on the track as it will be heard by a lot of people in the coming months and I want to make sure that it sends a strong messge to its listeners.
