Bye bye Gatsby! Ali is celebrating 20 years of pioneering blues and hokum (1913-1933). Award-winning vocalist (and jazz historian) with an all-star band! Celebrate the brave and bawdy blues queens who reigned in the prohibition era - many sadly forgotten over time. The music was bold - the women even more so! 'Masterclass in grassroots jazz/blues' ***** (Edinburgh49.org). 'Not a household name yet - she soon will be' (BBC Jazzhouse). 'Musical storyteller' (Scotsman). 'Astounding vocals' ***** (San Diego Union-Tribune). 'Vivacious' (Herald). Six-time nominee for Best Vocalist (Scottish Jazz Awards).
