Jazz at George IV - The Barb Jungr Trio: “Barb Jungr sings Dylan and Cohen”

From 07 Nov 24 7:30 PM to 07 Nov 24 10:00 PM

We are very excited to be part of award-winning singer & writer Barb Jungr’s nationwide tour as she returns to the Boston Room with a new collection of Dylan and Cohen’s most iconic songs mixing her award winning interpretations with a selection of challenging new arrangements of these classic songbooks. 

Fresh from curating the first ever UK festival of Bob Dylan for Farnham Maltings, ‘Visions of Dylan’, Barb’s current tour is a truly innovative celebration of two of the greatest contemporary songwriters of the western world.  “Barb Jungr interprets [Dylan and Cohen’s] work with a ferocity and truthfulness  that demolishes every cover version you’ve ever heard….” - The New York Times
 

Barb Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is only outshined by her ability to reinterpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live and recorded continues to delight audiences. In 2014, Barb followed her internationally acclaimed collection of Dylan songs “Every Grain Of Sand” with “Hard Rain”, laying herself bare to Dylan’s and Cohen’s political and philosophical songs. ‘Hard Rain’ gained many 5 star reviews for its uncompromising and powerful renditions, Bob Dylan’s manager called it  “some heavy music” – high praise indeed! 

Jungr’s dedication to re-inventing Dylan’s and Cohen’s repertoire has contributed to her formidable reputation as perhaps the best performer of their songs in the world.

 “The brilliant jazz singer on world-beating form …a true musical alchemist …” - The Telegraph. 

For this special concert Barb will be working with world class collaborators, the much acclaimed pianist Simon Wallace and the celebrated double bassist Geoff Gascoigne as she presents her ground breaking arrangements of two of the most important songwriters of this and the last century. 

7.30pm Tickets £20 (£18 for Chiswick Calendar Club Card holders) plus Eventbrite Booking fee.
