Jody Sternberg – To Eartha with Love

”Australian singer and multi-instrumentalist Jody Sternberg pays a jazzy and eclectic tribute to cabaret icon Eartha Kitt.
Jody Sternberg, "the most Parisian of Australian singers", accompanied by her compatriots David Lewis (Paris Combo) on trumpet, Cédric Piromalli (piano), Benoît Dunoyer de Segonzac (bass) and Patrick Fileul (drums) pay tribute to the one whom Orson Welles described as " the most exciting woman in the world!".
The show revisits Kitt's often provocative work – from early jazz standards like "C'est Si Bon" and "I Want to Be Evil" to more recent disco hits such as "Where Is My Man" – in English and French, with compositions and new arrangements by Sternberg and Lewis.
“ There’s this incredibly warm way she welcomes people, talks to them, introduces the songs, and shows affection for her musicians. It’s undeniable: Jody Sternberg, an irresistibly sincere singer and saxophonist, is a beautiful, truly great soul. But if her presence is so moving, the songs, whether original compositions or standards, are equally effective. Just look at the audience leaving the concert: everyone is smiling. ” – Télérama Sortir
