LONDON CABARET TONIGHT: SALENA JONES AT THE YAMAHA MUSIC ROOM
London jazz icon Salena Jones will perform at THE YAMAHA MUSIC ROOM AT THE BULL`S HEAD (373 Lonsdale Road, Barnes, London SW13 - 020 8876 5241) on Saturday, May 11th at 8:30 pm. Salena will sing with her quintet, including the new addition of Hugh Wilkinson playing percussion, to her regular members: Will Bartlett, Matt Ridley, Patrick Davey and Richard Shepherd.Born Joan Shaw in Newport News, Virginia, she is a direct descendant of Crazy Horse, the Indian Sioux warrior. Frustrated by the racism in her home country, Joan moved to England in 1965 and changed her name to Salena Jones. CBS Records signed her, and she performed throughout Europe in major venues and TV shows. In 1967 Salena was booked for two weeks at Ronnie Scott's in London. The audience reaction was so strong that it led to an extended run of seven weeks - still a record for this famous jazz club. Over the last five decades, Salena has continued to work from her base in the UK, and has toured throughout Europe, Africa, America and Asia. She is a well loved artiste in Japan where she has toured on a regular basis since 1978.
