Lethal cool: Georgia Mancio had the crowd begging for more
Three years on the road with a hot band have worked wonders on Georgia Mancio's confidence as a jazz singer. In February 2005 this petite Anglo-Italian's deadpan delivery deserved my lukewarm review.
But last night, using virtually the same musicians (pianist John Pearce, flautist Gareth Lockrane, bassist Dave Green, percussionist Anselmo Neto and drummer Dave Ohm) she left this same venue begging for more.
What had happened? Well, she's no Amy Winehouse wasted genius. Her voice is sweet and small, but she has learned how to slip it across with the lethal cool of a Mafioso stiletto.
Without scatting, her lyrics to Never Will I Marry, a classic from the Nancy Wilson Meets Cannonball Adderley album, scooted slickly along with just Green and Ohm in support.
Willow Weep for Me (in 6/4 time) and As Long As You're Living (in 5/4) were just as smart, and Tadd Dameron's classic ballad, On a Misty Night, featuring Lockrane's brilliant flute, had a gravitas that recalled two of her heroes, Chet Baker and Georgie Fame.
Croydon-born Georgia tapped into her Italian blood with tender versions of Senze Fine (Endless Love) and Estarte (Summer), plus acceptable Brazilian-Portuguese readings of Doraliz and Sea Jorge's Life on Mars, highlighting Neto's mandolin.
This well-mixed repertoire puts Georgia back in the game.
