Post Description

Since being tipped for the top by Jazzwise in January ’08 Sue Richardson's career has been going from strength to strength. She featured on Ian Shaw’s tribute to Humph, Sad Sweet Song, and as a result was a guest at Ronnie Scott’s tribute to Humph alongside Tina May and Barry Cryer. She opened the London Jazz Festival in 2007 and at LJF ’08 appeared at The Royal Opera House with Liane Carroll. Sue's 2009 bookings include The 606, Ronnie Scotts, Swanage Jazz Festival and The Sage in Gateshead. The launch of her latest album, Emergence, at the London Jazz Festival ’07, led to her being tipped for the top: ‘Look out for the big-toned, melodic playing of Sue Richardson.’ From Who to look out for in 2008, Jazzwise Dec’07. It also featured on BBC Radio 3’s Jazz LineUp. 
Emergence is Sue’s second album on Splash Point Records. This CD shows her engaging voice and warm trumpet sound to full advantage, as she takes you from swinging up-tempo jazz through thoughtful ballads to a sultry Cuban number. The recording features her gold-flower trumpet, especially made for Sue by award-winning Eclipse Trumpets, of whom Sue is a proud endorsee. The CD has 14 tracks featuring Sue's sublime trumpet/flugel playing and gorgeous voice. 12 songs are originals by Sue, influenced by her experiences in Havana and New Orleans.
