A guitarist and a singer will perform at the city’s only purpose built Jazz club.
Ant Law and Brigitte Beraha will be performing music from their album Ensconced at The Verdict in Edward Street, Brighton, on December 7.
The six originals on the album are bookended by re-imaginings of two timeless standards – A Kiss To Build A Dream On –made famous by Louis Armstrong – and Bernstein’s Some Other Time.
Brigitte’s “deeply expressive vocals” will complement Ant’s “inventive and melodic acoustic guitar artistry”.
Ant was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he lived until the age of 16. From a young age he was exposed to early blues and rock 'n' roll, as well as Arabic music.
Brigitte was born in Milan to a Turkish father and Turkish-British mother. She grew up on the Côte d’Azur in France where her first music memories are of sitting and listening to her dad play piano and sing.
Ant said: “It’s incredibly rare for me to play the acoustic steel-strung guitar, but that instrument is at the centre of this album, alongside Brigitte’s voice.
“It’s also unusual for me to collaborate with vocalists/lyricists and I am amazed at the depth and colour Brigitte’s poetry has brought to this music.”
