(Chloe
Clark)
A performance by Chloe Clark at The Jazzy
Rainbow on February 9, 2019, is part of the Concerts SA Venue Circuit which
aims to foster a love and support for live music in our communities, as well as
anchor small and medium sized venues in urban and rural Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal,
and the Western Cape.
Durban’s jazz lounge, The Jazzy Rainbow, in
association with Concerts SA, launched its first straight jazz programme on the
eve of Heritage Day in September 2016 and continues to follow up with the same
concept. “#JazzyStraightAhead is about introducing regular, live, straight jazz
concerts to our city in order to help keep the music alive,” says Oliver-Rene
Haas.
Chloe Clark is a dynamic, vivacious and
undeniably talented songstress who began her journey into music at a tender
age. At 11 years old, she had already formed her first band and has been
filling the air with her beautiful music and infectious energy ever since.
She has developed quite a reputation in
Durban’s jazz, theatre and corporate entertainment scene, with a string of
accomplishments to her name. Clark has had the privilege of singing at the
launching of the Durban July events, with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic
Orchestra, being a backup vocalist for Ronan Keating, singing on Majozi’s first
EP, as well as performing alongside artists such as Gangs of Ballet, Joseph
Clark, Arno Carstens and many more. She made her TV debut in 2014 by making it
to the Top 30 on Idols SA.
More recently she was part of South
Africa’s first season of The Voice South
Africa where she was in Kahn’s (from the Parlotones) team. Clark has also
performed internationally in Mauritius, Japan, China and India. She studied
music at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and completed her honours in Jazz
vocals and vocal technique methods in 2016. In the same year she released her
debut album, which gained national attention on local radio stations and
television shows. 2018 saw the release of her jazz album She Encountered Wonderland. The album is currently making waves
among the jazz communities worldwide, adding to her growing international
reputation as one of the hot, talented jazz vocalists to look out for. With the
highly talented band consisting of Nick Pitman on acoustic guitar, Llewelyn
Chetty on double bass, Burton Naidoo on piano and Chloe Clark on vocals, it’s
bound to be one of the new favourite Jazz albums internationally.
Clark draws inspiration from many of her
favourite artists- namely London Grammar, Diana Krall, Madeleine Peyroux,
Kimbra, Billie Holiday, Imogen Heap and many more.
Her performance takes place on February 9 at
19h00. Entrance R100, including a free drink (T&C). The Jazzy Rainbow is at
93 Smiso Nkwanyana Road, Morningside. Bookings: phone 031 303 8398 or email jazzyrainbow@mweb.co.za
