The acclaimed English jazz singer and actress, Cleo Laine, along with her husband—conductor, composer, and sax player John Dankworth—were given titles by Her Majesty the Queen for their services to music. Dame Cleo is the only singer ever to receive Grammy nominations in the Female Jazz, Popular, and Classical categories. Sir John was musical director for many greats—Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson and Sophie Tucker—and his big band shared the bill with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Favorite standards that Dame Cleo may cover with her ensemble include: “Bill,” “Send in the Clowns,” “I’m Beginning to See the Light,” and “Bess, You Is My Woman Now.” Get ready for a show by the royalty of jazz!
