The easiest way of offending Cleo Laine is to suggest that most people still think of her

The easiest way of offending Cleo Laine is to suggest that most people still think of her as a jazz/blues singer. " You can t have been following my career very closely...thats what people say who don t go to my performances, " comes the crisp reply. " The way the media put tags on people is quite odeous and can restrict a career." Point taken, she has done a lot besides jazz. She earned herself acclaim in various West End productions, from straight roles in " Hedda Gabler" and Shakespeare and musicals, operas and as a soloist with major orchestras. But surely we can be forgiven for thinking of her first as half of that superbly sucessful jazz partnership with her composer husband John Dankworth? And they are together again in the new musical " Colette, " written for her by John Dankworth, which had its world premier at the Alexander Theatre, Birmingham on Tuesday, and will run there for two weeks before transferring to the West End. " Colette" is based on the life of the famous French novelist who created " Gigi." They have a 350-seat theatre/concert hall at their Wavendon, Bucks. home, where they experimented with songs and readings to see what would be viable as a stage production.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the legendary Cleo Laine, a woman of immense talent and versatility. Known for her extraordinary vocal range and captivating stage presence, she has defied categorization throughout her illustrious career. In this candid moment, Cleo dismisses the notion that she is solely a jazz/blues singer with a crisp reply. She firmly believes that the media's tendency to label artists can be detrimental to their growth and potential. And rightly so, as Cleo has proven herself in various arenas beyond jazz. From commanding roles in West End productions like "Hedda Gabler" and Shakespearean plays to mesmerizing audiences as an opera soloist with major orchestras, she has left an indelible mark on the performing arts scene. However, it is understandable why many still associate her first and foremost with her husband John Dankworth – a composer extraordinaire – with whom she formed an immensely successful jazz partnership. Together again in the new musical "Colette" written specifically for Cleo by John Dankworth himself, they continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Their creative haven at Wavendon serves as both a theater and concert hall where they experiment tirelessly to bring innovative songs and readings to life on stage. With its world premiere at Birmingham's Alexander Theatre just days ago before transferring to London's West End, "Colette" promises yet another unforgettable chapter in Cleo Laine's remarkable journey through music and performance artistry. This timeless print allows us a glimpse into the multifaceted brilliance of one of Britain's most treasured performers - Cleo Laine.
