Paying tribute to Amy Winehouse’s lifelong love of jazz, this show re-arranges Winehouse’s catalogue from radio hits to a smokey club soundtrack, reminiscent of where her idols Mingus, Miles and Monk used to play.
Hear Winehouse’s most powerful songs in a new light with unique arrangements by musical director Joe McEvilly. Elly Poletti bring a new life to songs like “Back to Black”, “Tears Dry On Their Own”, and “In My Bed”. Three horns share the stage with her, weaving a backdrop of jazz harmonies and soul hits, comments and countermelodies.
Elly Poletti is an award-winning vocalist and performer hailing from South Gippsland, Victoria. Known for her powerhouse vocals, which she matches with sensitivity and nuance, she has performed at venues from Hisense Arena to Wangaratta Jazz Festival, supported artists including Clare Bowditch and Kate Ceberano, and won awards for her appearances on the musical theatre stage.
Make a meal of it! The music gets underway at 7.30pm, but arrive a bit earlier if you can. From 6.30pm, enjoy pre-show dinner and drinks at The Count’s Italian-style kitchen and bar.
