Act profile

Jazz J'adore is fronted by French-American singer eVe and Scottish guitarist Kevin, accompanied by an outstanding line up of musicians.

As entertaining as they are unique, Jazz J'adore bring you an exciting new sound with their original French adaptations of familiar standards such as Night And Day, All Of Me, and I Got It Bad, their renditions of traditional French classics like Edith Piaf’s La Vie En Rose and their own take on unexpected pop tunes such as The Eurythmics’ quintessential Sweet Dreams.

To the likes of Madeleine Peyroux and Dianne Reeves, eVe's' unique jazz and R&B stylings make for an inspiring set of music.
A former Los Angeles resident, she is known for her singing work on various American TV series (Jag, Andy Richter Controls The Universe), films (Notorious C.H.O., The Antwone Fisher Story), and major artists’ albums (Michael Jackson, Rodney Jerkins). A prolific songwriter, she recorded three full-length albums with LA band Jariya, and the soundtrack for several films featuring star comedian Margaret CHO (Notorious C.H.O, Revolution, I'm The One That I Want, Bam Bam & Celeste, The Grocery Store), as well as for the History Channel, Star Crossed, and Joe Black’s School of Rock. Since she moved to Britain in 2007, eVe has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, the St Bride’s Theatre, the Churchhill Theatre, Spice Of Life, Jazz After Dark, the Edinburgh Castle, the Stirling Castle, The Dundas Castle, Prestonfield, The Sheraton Hotel, Cameron House and Dryburgh Abbey, to name a few. She is a graduate of Berklee School of Music in Boston, USA.

Kevin has been an active member of the Scottish jazz scene for the last seven years, performing with the likes of international artists such as Joe Locke, Tony Monaco, Clarke Tracy, Dave O’Higgins, and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. Kevin has also performed at a variety of prestigious venues, including the Glastonbury Festival, the Glasgow International Jazz and Blues Festival, the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.
