Gill Manly came back to jazz in 2007 triumphantly, and on more than good form, reminding us all that she was and always has been the London Jazz Diva. Combining smooth elegance and dramatic power developed over time, and the constant search for fabulous melody and lyrics Gill has resurfaced on a level that has been hailed as “sublime” “world class” and “masterful”. Mentored and encouraged over the years by so many of the great and the good, Eartha Kitt, Blossom Dearie, Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Tony Bennett, Gill built a repertoire and individual style that is completely recognisable as her own and on first listening captivating. Always bringing freshness to even the oldest and well-worn song.
