Jazzlines present singer – violinist – songwriter / composer, touring her Songs to the Moon
Sitting somewhere between the pith and pathos of folkloric music, classical lyricism and spacious electronica, the latest project from celebrated vocalistviolinist Alice Zawadzki presents luminous settings of songs inspired by mankind’s ageold fascination with the moon.
“Uncategorizable, beautiful – a real force to be reckoned with”
Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
“She is a genuine original with a pure, pealing voice that can darken into brooding low tones, and twist with the flexibility and harmonic awareness of a jazz singer. She is also a composer of gliding, melodically unorthodox tunes that connect to contemporary classical music as much as jazz or pop, and an expressive lyricist.”
The Guardian
“With her glacial, folksy vocals and puckish fiddle, Alice Zawadzki would be notable enough. Add her compositional range and whimsical hypercreativity and she becomes something of a phenomenon. Displaying a similar otherness as some of our treasured pop eccentrics (Kate Bush, Bjork) Zawadzki comes from a jazzier place.”

“Beguiling, unorthodox tunes and pure vocals”
The Independent
“Original and unmissable.”
The Arts Desk
“Her lustrous vocal range is the real live deal.. a commanding, intense performer”
Jazzwise
“There was an arresting originality about her compositions... just as much in common with Randy Newman and Tom Waits as straight ahead jazz”
