Between jazz, soul, and pop. Tiptoe Big Band's newest collaboration is with the English-American singer Lucy Woodward, another Denmark-debutant. Also, a great, personal voice with both a solo career and collaborations with different artists around the world. In Ridehuset, we will also be introduced to music from Lucy Woodward's latest album Til They Bang on the Door (2016), which is a culmination of a long and varied musical career ranging from solo records to collaborations with Chaka Khan, Carole King, and the band Snarky Puppy. She will play music from her earlier releases as well as a few big band classics. Her style is somewhere between jazz, soul, and pop, and with inspiration from roots and blues. Lucy Woodward and her producers love to play with the deep end of the brass section. Prepare for an afternoon full of power, as well as room for her vocal, which complements the arrangments from the bottom with a feminine 'touch'. Lucy Woodward was born in London, grew up in the Netherlands, and spent most of her life in the USA. Her father was a classical composer and conductor, and her mother was an opera singer. Thus, music was always a big part of Lucy's life. However, her own heart is with jazz and roots music, and although she has worked in the genres of pop and rock, she keeps coming back. Apart from writing her own music, she has also contributed as a session musician, and recorded vocals for several movies. Her work includes the soundtrack for the Disney movie Ice Princess. Tiptoe Bigband is based in Odense, has existed since 1994, and is an active part of the Danish professional big band scene. Tiptoe Bigband's vision is to challenge the big band format by constantly seeking artistic challenges in different musical expression. For instance, the band has released electronics-based music, classical drum kit music, and played a line of shows with symphony orchestras, classical choirs, and soloists from different genres. The musicians and arrangers dedication has been the driving force behind these projects.
