About

Perth Jazz singer "Gigi Knight" performs jazz standards, Bossa nova and a sprinkling of 'jazzified' popular tunes.

She has many years of experience in the local music and creative industries. Having lived in Brazil, she sings some of the Bossa nova tunes in both English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Gigi's performance presents a broad cross-section of both sultry and upbeat Jazz favourites and a few tunes direct from the sun-drenched shores of Brasil. Enjoy a brief stop-over to New Orleans and Paris along the way...

?These sensual and sometimes haunting tunes are intertwined with a sprinkling of contemporary favourites.

Gigi Knight weaves this beautiful and svelte tapestry of passionate tales on the backdrop of complex chordal arrangements and deliciously surprising vocal intervals.

Jazz tunes include favourites from Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Liza Minelli and more.

Key influences from Brazil include João and Astrud Gilberto, Jobim, Luiz Bonfa, Antonio Maria, Sergio Mendez, Caterina Valente, and the iconic pop culture film Black Orpheus.

More contemporary songwriters include Sting, Leonard Cohen, Madonna, Amy Winehouse and inspiration from musical theatre greats such as Moulin Rouge, Cabaret and the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

GiGi performs solo with customised professional backing tracks or or in a duo (with guitar or keys) or trio (with bass or sax), 4 or 5 piece band with local instrumentalists.
