WAX ON is both a listening party, placing the needle in the groove of a collection of favourite jazz albums, as well as an intimate space for story-telling and reflections.
Despite her lack of technical training, Holiday’s unique diction, inimitable phrasing and dramatic intensity made her one of the most iconic jazz singers of her day. Her soulful, unique voice and her ability to boldly turn any material into her own sound made her a superstar of her time. Holiday’s poignant voice is still considered to be one of the greatest jazz voices ever.
Moderated by Irish Times music critic Cormac Larkin, with a panel of jazz aficionados, Wax On brings the audience on an intimate journey through the life and recordings of some of the most influential and important artists of the jazz genre
