Sell Out at Pizza on the Park
Following a sell out performance at Pizza on the Park in Spring 2006, Sue McCreeth will be back at Pizza on the Park with the London Jazz Festival in November. Her band will include Michael Garrick on piano and Spike Wells on drums. Sue's third Jazz Services tour throughout Spring and Summer 2006 saw audiences delighted by her playful and inventive approach to jazz. Bookings are in place well into 2007 including an appearance with John Horler and the trio at Howden in January and the whole of July in Zurich.
Many key players in the jazz world have supported her over the years. John Horler has on many occasions taken the microphone and paid tribute to her originality and talent. The great Dave Green ensured her 2002 debut CD, 500 Miles High the Air is Blue, reached the UK press, and Andy Cleyndert nurtured her recent release Just for Luxury from beginning to print. Radio stations all over the country, including regional BBC stations, have played various tracks from both CDs. Sue's CD 'Just for Luxury' is distributed by Proper Music Distribution.
‘Terrific! A singer with an innate feel for jazz, very good with the audience and a wee bit out of the ordinary’
Jazz Review
‘One of the best… following a sell-out performance at the Brighton Festival… and receiving rave reviews, her astonishing vocal range has impressed audiences’
Worthing Herald
’Smooth as silk... singer and musician Sue McCreeth is blazing a trail as one of the leading lights in the world of jazz… her sultry and haunting style impressed fellow musicians and audiences … one of the best voices in the business’
Glen Ferris, Brighton Argus
’A jazz singer who takes no prisoners in her set… this is a young lady with a similar uncompromising honesty in her compositions and vocal presentation to that shown by pianist (Stan) Tracey… from the outset she kept to a programme which held the audience… we were privileged… a penchant for Gershwin provided an appreciated contrast’
Keith Brain, Swindon Evening Post
Promoters and audience comments
The review in the Swindon Evening Post was written by us, and we wrote it because we believe it
David Knight, Swindon Jazz Society
Sue McCreeth delivered a captivating performance and a very mixed set... we were delighted
Guildford Jazz Club
My audience need a real mix and she gave them this… for sheer exuberance this was one of the most enjoyable nights ever
Farringdon Jazz Festival, Oxford
She stepped in for Claire Martin and she won over our audience… people were saying how much they had enjoyed the music
Oundle International Festival
If at the mention of the word ‘jazz’ you fail to turn out for Sue McCreeth you’ll be missing one of the most exceptional singers around. The jazz cognoscenti have been giving Ms. McCreeth universal acclaim for the beauty, ambition and originality of her work… her sparkling trio are the cream of the British Jazz Scene… and our audience exceeded our conservative estimate for a J-word evening… on her own material Sue’s distinctive voice swoops, glides and coos… she also paid fine tribute to Nine Simone… and won over the greater proportion of our audience, no mean feat
Cambria Arts
Sue McCreeth is a warm, passionate person who approaches music and singing truly from her heart. She has an individual style and writes all her own arrangements… she can do the straight ahead jazz but is different too… she packed it out and went down very well indeed… worth every penny
Brian Gumbley, Feast of Jazz, Preston
It wasn’t long before I found myself deeply captivated by refreshing style and delivery… her voice soared from low warm depths to dizzy heights… her self-written songs were compelling and so different from the normal range of vocals one hears repeatedly… standards received an original delivery and could have been completely new
Vi Hill, Jazz in the Villages, Lincs
Sue McCreeth is hypnotic, seductive and confident… she carves a really clear groove and that’s satisfying to listen to… she is slightly witchlike, magical, invocational especially when caught in improvisational stream… and is persuasive and passionate delivering a standard. Oh, yes, she looks beautiful too which don’t hurt: flowing rich textures, sparkling jewels and auburn splendour
Faye Patton, pianist/vocalist, Pizza on the Park
