Funk My Life: A Night of Acid Jazz, Soul, and Jazz-Funk
Cardiff and London music fans are in for a treat this March with the highly anticipated performance of “Funk My Life”. This electrifying show, featuring West End powerhouse Philippa Healey and legendary Jamiroquai musicians, promises an unforgettable night of high-energy grooves, original music, and world-class musicianship.
The show, which will take place on March 6th at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff and March 12th at London’s Crazy Coqs, will showcase Philippa Healey’s unique blend of jazz-funk originals and dancefloor classics. With award-winning musicians from London’s vibrant jazz scene and Healey’s powerhouse vocals, this is a show that will have audiences dancing from start to finish.
Healey, a classically trained pianist and Oxford music graduate, first gained recognition as a leading lady in Les Misérables. Since then, she has captivated audiences worldwide with her dynamic stage presence and musical versatility. Now, she is making waves in the soul and jazz-funk world, collaborating with Jamiroquai legends Rob Harris, Paul Turner, and Derrick McKenzie, as well as some of London’s most critically acclaimed contemporary jazz musicians.
When asked about her collaboration with the Jamiroquai musicians, Healey said, “I’ve been a huge Jamiroquai fan since their first album more than 30 years ago; I absolutely hammered that CD to death. It’s like a dream come true that I’ve had the privilege of recording my original songs with some of the band’s legendary members. Indeed, I woke up the day after being in the recording studio with them, and thought: ‘did I dream that?'”
Critics have also praised Healey’s talent and unique style, with SoundReadSix.com stating, “A vibrant and out-of-the-ordinary personality shines from the talented Philippa Healey.” Paul Turner, bassist for Jamiroquai, added, “Philippa is so refreshingly adventurous with harmony, melody, and rhythm.”
The show has been described as “energy-packed” and “a proper old-school 70s jazz-funk vibe” by Soul & Funk & Jazz Magazine, and has received high praise from other publications, such as What’s On Magazine and Power Ace Radio.
