DESCRIPTION:The festival is delighted to welcome the amazing Earl Okin back to the Rye International Jazz and Blues Festival this year.\n\nEarl Okin has been a legend in both the jazz clubs and comedy clubs of Britain for over 40 years.\n\nPraised for his singing, his guitar and piano playing, his love of fine repertoire (and samba!), as well as his unique gift for poking gentle fun at the music (and himself) – Earl is a sell-out wherever he appears, and his 'mouth-trumpet' is the most unique sound in British jazz. Earl Okin is one of the world’s finest jazz singers.\n\nIn addition, he is probably the finest performer of Bossa Nova outside of Brazil.\n\nThough occasionally performing with a trio, he normally performs solo, accompanying himself at the guitar or piano as most appropriate for the song. Finally, he’s renowned for his legendary ‘vocal trumpet’ solos.\n\nTo sum him up – the perfect sophisticated jazz vocal cabaret!\n\n“His shtick is gently witty and beautifully timed in every sense” – The Guardian\n\n “To see Earl Okin live is the only way to go” – UK Jazz News
