Join Singer, Songwriter, Pianist, Estelle Kokot as she takes you on a solo musical journey, from Abdullah Ibrahim’s The Mountain to Nick Cave’s Red Right Hand. This annual Pre New Year’s Eve Presentation at The Vortex Jazz Club will premiere outings of new compositions by Estelle, including Komodo Dragon Jam, songwriter Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, Stephen Sondheim, songs by South African composers, Duke Ellington, Joni Mitchell and more.
Regulars at the Vortex will no doubt be familiar with the compellingly dramatic live work of Estelle Kokot. Her great strengths: a powerful yet intimately confiding vocal style, cogent and persuasive lyrics the subject matter of which ranges from affecting but unflinching despatches from love’s front lines to meditations on contemporary African politics and their human consequences.
