: Jody Sternberg & David Lewis present: FRENCH IN JAZZ
15 July @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm AEST

Paris based Jody Sternberg and David Lewis are back in Australia with another eclectic menu of songs, exploring the rich and enduring dialogue between French chanson and ‘le jazz’.
Together with pianist Mark Fitzgibbon on piano, they offer their original takes on the songs of such iconic figures as Michel Legrand, Charles Trenet and Serge Gainsbourg, with Lewis’ melodic, colourful trumpet and flugelhorn interweaving with Sternberg’s warm voice.
Originally from Sydney, Jody Sternberg is a singer and multi instrumentalist whose music blends vocal jazz with touches of folk, blues and bossa nova.
Now living in France after previous spells in Japan and the US, Jody has collaborated with artists including Arthur H, Alain Jean-Marie, Marc Collin’s Nouvelle Vague and Morcheeba, notably touring worldwide as their lead singer during The Antidote tour and co writing the single Wonders Never Cease.
