jazz music review
Lisa Scott
A lively rhythm played the show in but, unfortunately, that was the highlight, and the rest of the set, although quite pleasant, was nothing to write home about. Scott's tediously conventional song selection was littered with classics from Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, but she never really got to grips with any of the numbers or conveyed them with any individual style. This was partly due to a duff microphone, but in this intimate venue, she really should have performed more. She doesn't make many mistakes, she's amiable and gracious and the hour would be a relaxing interlude in a Fringe night full of personality-soaked performers, but as a stand alone gig, she's no show stopping songstress.
