Sally instigated this project after years of listening to bossa nova and samba from Brazil as well as music from Cuba and Mexico and after being inspired by such jazz singers as Chet Baker, Nina Simone and Billy Holiday and Brazilian singers João Gilberto, Elis Regina, Maria Creuza, Rosa Passos and Eliane Elias. She approaches Brazilian bossa nova and samba and Cuban and Mexican boleros with the same ease as the ballads and swings that she carefully selects from the American songbook. Her set includes the bossa nova repertoire of Antonio Carlos Jobim and songs by other great writers such as Chico Buarque, Ary Barroso, Consuelo Velázquez, Luis Bonfa, Jimmy Van Heusen, Gershwin, Dennis and Adair, Romburg and Hammerstein and many others. Her singing has been described as ‘intimate and passionate’. She sings the Latin American songs in their original languages of Portuguese and Spanish because, she says, “they sound so much more beautiful”. Sally also performs this repertoire as a duo or trio (see live page for details of future gigs).

Some favourite venues/gigs so far have been the Hear & Now Festival in Howden, Scarborough Jazz Club, Cinnamon Club in Altrincham, the Sands in Gainsborough, the HiFi club in Leeds, Marlborough Jazz Festival, Melbourne Arts Festival and Wigan International Jazz Festival.

Sally has also performed this repertoire as a guest vocalist with Peter King and Neil Yates and with Alan Barnes as well as opening for Cleo Laine and Alex Wilson.
