Shannon Butcher (Vocals) with Rebecca Hennessy (Trumpet) perform the Chet Baker Songbook; saluting one of the Jazz world’s most popular male vocalists and horn players. In their first collaboration together, these two celebrated ladies of the Toronto jazz scene will perform a broad range of material spanning the breadth of Chet Baker’s career, with a focus on his vocal repertoire. Selections will include works from his later period such as Elvis Costello’s “Almost Blue” along with the classic standards “I Fall In Love Too Easily”, “My Funny Valentine”, “It Could Happen To You”, “Let’s Get Lost” and more!Accompanied by an outstanding Piano, Bass and Drum trio (Mark Kieswetter, Ross MacIntyre and Maxwell Roach), this duo who are known for exploring the “new” come together to explore the inspiration of a jazz icon. Shannon Butcher is a well-loved vocalist in the Canadian jazz scene who achieves steady jazz radio play across the country. She has built her career by creating her own jazz songbook, filled with a unique repertoire of self-composed material and distinctive jazz interpretations of recent pop music. Canadian jazz radio has heartily embraced Shannon’s repertoire as presented on her two solo albums, 2008’s “Words We Both Could say” and 2010’s “Little Hearts”, (albums that contain a combined total of only three traditional jazz interpretations out of a total of 21 tracks), as well as on 2011’s duo album with Ross MacIntyre; “How Sweet It Is” (where only one of eleven tracks is considered a Jazz “Standard”.) Her albums have consistently reached the Top-Ten national jazz airplay charts, and her live performances in her home town of Toronto, as well as at Canadian Jazz festivals and regional theatres (such as The Rose Theatre in Brampton, Mississauga’s Living Arts Centre and the Richmond Hill Centre for the Arts) never fail to charm a crowd.
Rebecca Hennessy (Trumpet) is a sought-after player in the Canadian jazz scene, as well as the indie music scene (where she works with artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Owen Pallett, Broken Social Scene, Feist and Sara Slean). She is most well known for her work as member of the chamber-jazz quartet “Hobson’s Choice” – who have released two full length CDs and one EP since 2008. As with her other jazz projects, Rebecca’s focus with Hobson’s Choice has been on original compositions and improvised music. As Shakura S’Aida wrote recently about Rebecca, “she is one seriously talented player, who plays with a sensitivity that never leaves strength behind.”
