JazzLeeds – Georgia Mancio and Alan Broadbent

“unequivocally, one of the gigs of the year…Heartfelt, intimate and engaging, this was one of those memorable nights where the music-making was completely transporting. Every lover of song will want to add Mancio and Broadbent’s tour de force to their collection” Jazzwise

“What an amazing, vibrant and completely sold out Ronnie Scott’s … which ended with that kind of applause that made you feel that you had been in on something special” London Jazz News

“impossible not to fall in love with her voice…a magnificent example of strength and talent” Jazz in Europe

This globally acclaimed collaboration between multi-award-winning vocalist/lyricist, Georgia Mancio (Parliamentary Jazz Awards, Ian Shaw, BBC Proms), and double-Grammy-winning jazz pianist/composer, Alan Broadbent (Natalie Cole, Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny), celebrated the release of their third co-written album, A Story Left Untold with the expert support of bassist Andry Cleyndert and drummer Dave Ohm .

Over the last 11 years, their performances have been lauded across Europe and the US for their quiet virtuosity: Alan’s dazzling pianism and improvisatory breadth, the perfect counterpart to Georgia’s exceptional story-telling and emotional depth.

Described as “one of the most formidable songwriting partnerships of the 21st century” (Jazz Views), their catalogue of 40+ songs has drawn comparisons to Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Joni Mitchell and Stephen Sondheim.

Through journeys and resting places, childhood and old age, community and solitude: Broadbent and Mancio’s music remind us of both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit, at once profound and joyous, intimate and epic.
