The yellow house Jazz Nights

Jazz Nights at The yellow house

Michael L Roberts on Thursday 23rd February!

At just 28, Jazz-vocalist Michael L. Roberts has already enjoyed landmark engagements at the top venues on the British jazz scene, frequent radio airplay and a featured broadcast on BBC Radio 2 of his arrangement of a forgotten and previously unpublished Cole Porter masterpiece, residencies and festival appearances as vocalist/lyricist with Vasilis Xenopoulos's 'X-Tet' and guest performances with legendary and groundbreaking artists across Europe, the U.S. and the Caribbean.
His exciting debut record "Moving Is Living" (released worldwide on the Nota Bene label) is an amalgamation of his already extensive experience as a diverse and creative jazz artist, featuring strikingly fresh originals, hip-reworked standards, hidden-gem ballads and an award-winning band that includes long-time collaborators Anita Wardell, Chris Montague and Rob Barron.

"Britain's answer to Kurt Elling... he delivers a mature and often exhilarating set that puts him in the front rank of this country's performers... Roberts has technique, to be sure, but he is soulful too... Roberts's phrasing is immaculate"
Clive Davis, 4-Star Review in THE SUNDAY TIMES
"Way above the hordes of average Sinatra wannabes out there, Roberts is crooner cut from similar cloth to Kurt Elling and Mark Murphy. Possessing an effortlessly hip delivery and an easy-going charm, his superb band add funky bite to his cool bark!"
Mike Flynn, TIMEOUT Jamie Cullum
