ABOUT THE ARTIST

'The Great Ladies of Jazz with Sarah Oshlag

Sara Oshlag celebrates the giants of jazz singing, from Billie to Ella, from Peggy Lee to Julie London, from Nina to Sarah Vaughan. A night of swinging jazz and classic songs accompanied by the Alex Webb trio.

Sara Oschlag

Copenhagen-born vocalist Sara Oschlag grew up in a musical household, where her first jazz idol was Anita O’Day. Now based in Brighton, she has attracted rave reviews from the south coast jazz scene - Jazzwise editor Jon Newey said, ‘her stylish, imaginative phrasing and insouciant verve blew everyone away’ and Sussex Jazz Mag said her 2014 release ‘My Little Boat’ was ‘an album that you can listen to over and over again.’ The doyenne of British jazz singers, Claire Martin, has praised her ‘natural musician's ear and beautiful sense of swing.’

Since turning professional 2003, Sara has performed all over the UK as well as in Europe and America. Her influences now include Shirley Horn, Betty Carter, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan and Eddie Jefferson. ‘She displays a maturity beyond her years, taking the listener on a journey, breathing new life into the old standards’ – Jim Mullen (multi award-winning guitarist).

Alex Webb

Alex Webb is a songwriter, arranger and pianist. His songs have been recorded by jazz singers China Moses, Mina Agossi, Sandra Nkake, Liane Carroll, Allan Harris, Alexia Gardner and Alexander Stewart, among others. His show ‘Cafe Society Swing’ has enjoyed several theatre runs in London and one in New York, where he received the New York Times ‘Critic’s Pick’.

“Here is a writer not content with peddling jazz covers but a composer hell-bent on writing some new jazz standards” – Blues & Soul

Sourcing the greatest grass-fed Aberdeenshire beef is crucial to Boisdale but equally so is the attention to detail involved in the dry ageing and the actual cutting. All the beef supplied to Boisdale is from the very best certified beef suckler herds of Aberdeenshire Boisdale is wild about game and all manner of chase and fowl find their way to the tables, be it red grouse – the ultimate game bird uniquely indigenous to Scotland and northern England or Highland venison, the regulars’ favourite served hot smoked with a black truffle dressing. Wild fowl, hare, partridge – all can be enjoyed in the Boisdale restaurants when in season.

Gourmets can also delight in arguably the best beef in the world: 28-40 day matured purebred dry aged Aberdeenshire steak as well as other remarkable meat that includes Highland Blackface Lamb.

The most famous Scottish export after whisky - smoked salmon - comes to Boisdale from award-winning, small family-owned farms and smokehouses. Other fish specialities include the diver-gathered Orkney King scallops, Loch Ryan native oysters, organic West Minch salmon from South Uist, sweet dill-pickled herring from the Summer Isles, as well as abundant varieties of other seafood.
