London Jazz Festival, in association with BBC Radio 3, Friday 11 to Sunday 20 November 2011

Cleo Laine’s recent appearance at the Barbican’s Big Band Britannia concert literally stopped the show, receiving a standing ovation for her tribute to the music of her partner of decades, Sir John Dankworth.

Cleo returns to the Barbican with a new programme that includes the next generation of a hugely gifted family – singer Jacqui Dankworth and bassist Alec Dankworth – as featured guests. With a charismatic stage presence, and a vocal range that never ceases to astonish, Cleo Laine is one of the great figures in jazz today.

“Laine’s voice remians a magnificently individual instrument.” The Daily Telegraph
