Denise Pelley, a native of London,
has been touring the U.S. and
Canada this past year with her latest
showstopper, Jazzabel. Now, she's
coming to Blyth Memorial Hall
thanks to the Huron United Way.
Jazzabel is a musical story of two
jazz divas, one that found success
and one that did not. Their personal
stories will be shared through the
music of the magical era of the
1930s and 40s.
"Jazzabel's about dreams and how
people pursue them," Pelley says.
"And it's about what the definition
of success in life is, as opposed
to the success produced by
stardom."
It's a musical dream come true,
which takes us from a small town in
the deep south to the celebrated and
legendary Apollo Theatre in New
York City. Pelley has performed
with orchestras world wide,
including Germany and Portugal.
In 1998 she debuted her Jazz CD
Trust the Moment which put her in
the spotlight and in the hearts of jazz
lovers across Canada after its launch
at an evening hosted by Shelagh
Rogers at Toronto's Top '0"The
Senator, and an appearance on
CTV's Canada AM and followed by
airplay of the newly released CD on
CBC's After Hours.
Several of the great artists Pelley
has performed with include the
acclaimed trombonist Ray
Anderson, gospel/blues legend
Jackie Richardson and Flamenco
'guitarist Jesse Cook to name a
few.
Pelley has acted at the Grand
Theatre in London in performances
such as the Fats Waller musical
`Ain't Misbehavin', Wang Dang
Doodle with Denis Simpson and A
Streetcar Named Desire.
Jazzabel premiered in September
of 2004 in London, Ontario's
McManus Theatre (Grand Theatre)
to sold out audiences. It showcased
in Washington D.C. in October of
2005 and was given a worldwide
focus by Oprah Winfrey's 0
magazine on the eve of its New York
City debut in February of
2006.
Jazzabel was conceived by Pelley.
It was written by Jaccitie Gauthier
and directed by Louise Fagan, both
also from London. The musical
director is Jeff Christmas who is a
Canadian-based composer, arranger,
conductor, drummer, percussionist
and trumpeter. He studied at the
University of Western Ontario,
London, York University in Toronto,
and Berklee College of Music, in
Boston Massachusetts, where he
majored in Film - Scoring and
Composition.
All this talent creates a magical
