Transatlantic – Simone Craddock

Swing across the pond with lovingly re-imagined jazz and blues standards from the likes of Cleo Laine, Elvis Costello, Nina Simone and Ray Charles. Get your Bossa on as we dance by the beaches of Jobim's Brazil via the sounds of Marley's Caribbean. Waltz up the coast of Dankworth's Africa to the Nordic Fjords of Bremnes, and re-live the British Invasion as much-loved hits are spun inventively into the jazz canon, such as The Beatles, Kate Bush, Radiohead and David Bowie. Prepare yourself for a raconteur of sophistication and fun, but above all else, a transatlantic journey of ridiculously good music.

Tonight, she joins forces with W.A's finest jazz luminaries, to bring the best jazz, blues, swing and groove from all corners of the Atlantic, home to Fremantle.
