SHAMEEM TAHERI-LEE QUINTET
Mon 30 Nov 2009 @ 8:00pm
Admission Members $10 Student members $5 Non-members $15
SHAMEEM Taheri Lee is an exciting, up-and-coming jazz vocalist and composer, with a fresh and invigorating style. When Shameem sings, she seems to speak directly to the hearts of her audience, while her strong instrumental background very much informs her phrasing and improvisation.
Earlier this year, Shameem was chosen as one of the finalists for the prestigious James Morrison Jazz Vocal Scholarship. Shameem is currently finishing her studies in jazz composition at WAAPA.
Shameem has performed numerous times at Perth's various jazz clubs Perth Jazz Society, the Ellington Jazz Club, the Jazz Club of WA and Jazz Fremantle. She has also performed at many popular music and entertainment venues all around Perth, including the Perth Concert Hall and the Subiaco Arts Centre. She currently holds a weekly residency at The Publican Bar and Restaurant in Victoria Park.
Critique
`Shameem Taheri Lee is one of WA's finest emerging jazz talents and is a vocalist and composer to check out.'
Graham Wood, Director of Music, WAAPA
Shameem's quintet will feature Carl Mackey (saxophone), Russell Homes (piano), Paul Pooley (bass) and Chris Tarr (drums). They will be performing an eclectic smorgasbord of standards, originals and arrangements of familiar tunes. Come prepared for vibrant colours and shades, infectious grooves and a splash of scrumptious swing!
