“a sublime vocalist...with both credibility and talent to spare” Jazzwise “taste, originality and understated eloquence” The Observer “As her voice soars to paint precise arabesques in the air there’s a suggestion of Ella Fitzgerald by way of Bebel Gilberto” Metro

Award-winning jazz vocalist/lyricist, Georgia Mancio, has proved herself one of the UK’s most original, inventive and important new artists. She has worked with Bobby McFerrin, Sheila Jordan, Ian Shaw, Liane Carroll, Jason Rebello, Gwilym Simcock, Alan Broadbent and Bobby Wellins; played several residencies at Ronnie Scott's (opposite Monty Alexander, Jon Hendricks, Cedar Walton and Milton Nascimento); produced 4 albums and runs her own international voice festival, ReVoice!

Salud! Tom Jobim is Georgia’s tribute to the remarkable Brazilian composer, singer, multi- instrumentalist and Bossa Nova maestro Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim. Alongside virtuoso reeds player, Mark Crooks (Ronnie Scott's,The Lincoln Center NYC, BBC Proms/John Wilson Orchestra) and a top flight band, Salud! Tom Jobim recreates the hits (Desafinado, Chega de Saudade, Corcovado and most famously The Girl from Ipanema) as well as lesser known gems with collaborators Elis Regina, Stan Getz, Frank Sinatra, João and Astrud Gilberto.

Jobim’s beautiful, bitter-sweet melodies evoke the sunshine and easy rhythm of life by the ocean in Brazil combined with a jazz musician’s sense of harmony, the eloquence of George Gershwin and Irving Berlin and the sweep of Debussy, Chopin and Ravel. They remain unique and timeless.
