Jazz Academy
Based in Sydney
About this act
Jazz Academy come at the classics from a soul direction, playing them with warm honest tone rather than polite reverence. The influences are worth naming because they explain the sound: Erykah Badu, Gretchen Parlato, Little Dragon, Marvin Gaye, Kurt Elling, Donny Hathaway and Prince, with hip hop and contemporary jazz feeding in as well. The Sydney group can be booked anywhere from a duo up to a six piece, which makes them workable for a cocktail party and a gala dinner alike. Weddings, corporate functions and private events all sit comfortably in their range.
