‘A journey between Jazz, Neo Soul, Italian Music and Brazilian Rhythms’
On Tuesday 28th of November the founder and curator of the entire Lulu’s Jazz Club series, Luisa Annibali with her Quartet, takes the stage presenting her Single that will be released on Friday 15th of December on all platforms.
Lulù is the nickname of Luisa Annibali, an Italian-born singer and songwriter living in Dublin and performing both in Ireland and Italy.
Luisa Annibali is one of the leading lights in the newest generation of jazz musicians on the Dublin jazz scene. Having moved from Rome to Dublin in 2016, she has quickly established herself in the scene with her boundless enthusiasm and vocal prowess. She blends music from her native Italy with Brazilian tinges and contemporary jazz making ample room for her distinctive voice to shine through.
Very active in the jazz community, she got her BA in ‘Jazz and Contemporary Music Performance’ from the Dublin City University just 2 years ago.
Her new track ‘My Own Paradise’ is a perfect example of her own personal take on jazz music, mixing feminist themes in her lyrics with contemporary jazz undertones reminiscent of artists such as Esperanza Spalding and Gretchen Parlat. The music feels fresh and cutting edge while never losing sight of its roots in the jazz standard repertoire.
Her music naturally compound different styles of music, exploring Jazz, Neo Soul, Funky, Brazilian music, and Free Jazz.
Indeed, it is the encounter between people from different cultures and musical influences that makes her music and her performances so unique.
All the compositions are written by the leader, and many arrangements are written with and by the guitarist of the band Johnny Batista
At Lulu’s Jazz Club Luisa Annibali Quartet will present a mixed repertoire of original compositions and some of her favorite Jazz, Brazilian and Italian songs.
