Zoe Schwarz & Rob Koral

Zoe Schwarz & Rob Koral

A top quality jazz duo. Zoë was classically trained and a graduate in the ‘Performing Arts’ from Trent Park, Middlesex University.Zoë then performed in many guises over the following years, mostly in modern improvisational and classical music; including working with Keith Tippet, Scott Stromen, Harrison Birtwistle and Emma Kirkby. It soon became clear that her forte was far more suited to blues, expressive ballads and jazz. Although from a self-taught, blues background, Rob made his name on the British jazz scene having performed with the likes of Jim Mullen, Django Bates, Bill Bruford, Tim Garland and many more. As a duo, Zoe and Rob perform popular songs from the Great American songbook, from vibrant swinging standards, to smouldering Billie Holiday-esque bluesy ballads that have become Zoë’s trade mark.They zip effortlessly through any breakneck Beebop tune, then ease into a laid back funky groove, to a low down ‘n dirty blues... all backed simply by Rob's stylish and unmistakable touch and flow on guitar which provides the perfect vehicle for Zoe's yearning, passionate and commanding vocal style.
