Cathy Williams

Has been influenced particularly by Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, but with her great natural ability, covers a very broad range of jazz standards, blues, bossa novas and contemporary music.
She sings with real feeling, flair and individuality and has a way of making songs her own.
She has a terrific stage presence, and her warm, engaging personality connects well with audiences. Cathy has also made live TV performances.

We perform in venues varying from outdoor festivals to intimate jazz club/restaurant settings. Each has its acoustic challenges for the music to be balanced, clear, and enjoyable. With our very high-quality equipment, Nigel accompanies JAZ2 to ensure perfect acoustic quality whatever the environment.

All top quality equipment supplied, including stage piano.
