flavour, and a licensed bar. Chairs will be arranged cafe-style, around

sings in the authentic Portuguese language. Many of these songs were written
by Antonio Carlos Jobim, the highly respected composer whose works have
infiltrated the repertoire of most Jazz musicians. She also sings boleros
from Cuba and Mexico and the occassional song from Peru (all sung in Spanish).
She brings to these wonderful songs her own warm and passionate tones.
She will be joined by John Trier on piano, Colin Elliot on double bass
and Caroline Boaden on drums. Further information about Sally can be found
