Hello!

Thank you for stopping by my website... Please forgive my lack of updates! As of Friday 19th August 2011, I have finished an MSc in Music in the Commmunity and will update everything in September. Exciting times ahead!

I'm excited about LONDON 24th MAY - Pizza Express ! come on down!
and then straight to  PARIS 28th & 29th MAY - Paris in May - heaven!

I had a wonderful gig in Munich in February and look forward to playing there again soon! Next is Amsterdam, back to Edinburgh for a gig with JAFALA (my first group in the UK!), London then straight onto Paris. An exciting and busy few months ahead! Check out my GIGS page for full listings.

Most recently, my album, Growing Up, received a review in Jazzwise Magazine:

“… Her voice has a gorgeous soft tone and a hint of Blossom Dearie but I can also hear some more interesting echoes here - people like Ricki Lee Jones, Mary Margaret and the McGarrigles… the real joy with Ms. Abrams' debut is that it invites you in and makes you feel so good, you won't want to leave. A stone delight.” (see Press page for full review).

The album has also received great reviews in the Netherlands - check them out on the Press page too.

Growing Up features internationally acclaimed Dutch musicians Marc van Roon, Tony Overwater, Wim Kegel and Maarten Ornstein. These four musicians are at the forefront of the Dutch and European Jazz scenes. They have won awards and accolades as far a field as Japan and Lebanon.

Growing Up is distributed in Europe by Dutch record company CHALLENGE RECORDS, in the UK it is still through little ‘ol me.

Keep an eye on the gig dates just to the right on this page. I'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, have a lovely day and enjoy the music...
