Paris-based Australian jazz vocalist Hetty Kate presents songs from her newest release — a sparkling homage to the most effervescent of seasons, Spring. This album is the opening chapter of Jazz in Four Seasons, a four-album odyssey tracing the calendar year across different continents. Recorded in Prague with four of the city’s finest jazz musicians, this collection captures spring’s beauty through carefully curated standards from Duke Ellington, Tadd Dameron, Dave Brubeck, and more. It celebrates new life, renewal, and awakening — from tender songs that echo the first buds of spring to melodies that capture the dance of spring rain.

Joined by a stellar trio, Hetty will bring this musical portrait of spring to life with her imaginative song choice and the warmth and wit audiences have come to expect. As critic Eric Myers notes, ‘One rarely hears a repertoire of such quality.’ Join us for an intimate evening celebrating the season of new beginnings.
