Perth Jazz singer "Gigi Knight" performs jazz standards, Bossa nova and a sprinkling of 'jazzified' popular tunes.

She has many years of experience in the local music and creative industries. Having lived in Brazil, she sings some of the Bossa nova tunes in both English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Gigi's performance presents a broad cross-section of both sultry and upbeat Jazz favourites and a few tunes direct from the sun-drenched shores of Brasil. Enjoy a brief stop-over to New Orleans and Paris along the way...
