Tamara Kuldin & Joe McEvilly

Enamoured by the romance and sophistication of the golden era of song, acclaimed Australian vocalist Tamara Kuldin has been captivating audiences from Melbourne to Europe with her playful, sultry and heartfelt interpretation of songs from The Great American Songbook, French chanson classics to lesser known vintage jazz & blues gems.

A lover of storytelling through song, Tamara's unique and versatile vocal styling has been inspired by a diverse palette of female vocalists such as Doris Day, Cassandra Wilson, Sarah Vaughan and Joni Mitchell. Her vivacity, warmth and vocal prowess has endeared her to some of the finest Australian and international jazz musicians from Kate Ceberano, Joe Chindamo to Wycliffe Gordon.

“Sultry, sassy, cheeky – Tamara Kuldin is all that and much more. A jazz seductress with a honey-rich voice that soothes and captivates.’ —Australianjazz.net
'You really should listen to Tamara Kuldin. Such beauty. And so moving. She is a marvel'. Sam Neill

This event is part of Jimmy Hornet’s regular Thursday jazz concerts, featuring a different singer each week alongside pianist Joe McEvilly. When he’s not performing with some of Melbourne’s best loved jazz vocalists, Joe McEvilly is in demand as an arranger, transcriber, and music teacher as well as running bands including Movement 9, Aurora Australis and the Joe McEvilly Sextet.
