now considered de rigueur for jazz vocalists, with Jan herself being credited as an originator of the style.
She performs and records with some of the world’s finest musicians, and features alongside the Greats in the book ‘Singing Jazz’. She also has her own section in the Virgin Encyclopaedia of Jazz, and is in the Penguin Who’s Who of Jazz.
Born and raised near Cambridge, Mark grew up singing along with Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and watching Hollywood movies on TV - an experience which now explains his uncanny ability to remember the verses of countless standards. An early career as a boy soprano came to grief when he realised that no one looks good in a surplice. After blundering through a number of jobs in education and the arts - he met Carol Grimes who persuaded him to try singing beyond the confines of his living room. Mark has sung at the Vortex, the Spice of Life and Pizza on the Park and worked with such musicians as Dave Wickens, Issy Postill, Alison Rayner and Malcolm Earl Smith. He appears regularly with Carol Grimes and has recently formed his own quartet which made its club debut at the Vortex in July 2006.
