Yvette Johansson Swings Billie

Yvette Johansson is one of Melbourne’s most respected and endearing vocalists. Her vocal abilities are renowned and her stage presence leaves audiences in raptures.

Having carved a well-worn niche for herself, in the jazz landscape, with her sell-out tributes to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday; residencies at Melbourne’s leading jazz clubs, for over a decade and as featured vocalist, for the Freeview ad campaign of 2013–14, Yvette is now forging a path, towards being a contemporary artist to be reckoned with.

For this performance at Paris Cat Jazz Club, Yvette will be presenting a program of her favourite swinging tunes and soulful ballads recorded by the great Billie Holiday.

Playing with Yvette Johansson are the world-class pianist Mark Fitzgibbon, the masterful bassist Ben Hanlon and the in-demand drummer Ryan Menezes.
