The McIntyre Jazz Project
The McIntyre Jazz Project:
Nicole McIntyre shares her love of jazz with classics from the 1920's through to the present day. Her unique renditions of old favourites are heartfelt and lovingly delivered with emotional depth and a warm, rich, smokey voice.
Drawing her accompanists from a pool of very talented musicians each providing lush musical landscapes underneath Nicole's masterful voice, she'll take you on a nostalgic journey through the music of times gone by.
An evening with The McIntyre Jazz Project will have you feeling cosy and sentimental; with a little romance, a little heart-break, and a generous touch of sensuality.
With over 25 years experience in jazz performance Nicole shares her love of this spicy genre with some of the best vintage time pieces.
The McIntyre Jazz Project plays something for everyone and for every mood.
Perfect with a Julep or two! :)
