Stacey Kent

Critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated singer Stacey Kent sings from the soul, telling her stories with faultless phrasing and a lucid, enchanting voice. Stacey returns to Birdland in support of her brand new Brazilian-flavored CD, “The Changing Lights,” (EMI) a follow-up to “Dreamer In Concert,” (her first ever live album) the Grammy nominated, “Breakfast on the Morning Tram,” (2007) and all-French, “Raconte-moi,” (2009). Stacey’s band features Jim Tomlinson (sax) whose songwriting partnership with famed novelist Kazuo Ishiguro has formed the central plank in Stacey’s recent albums.
