Multi Award Winning Female Saxophonist, Birmingham, UK, Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, Blues, Soul and Originals. 'Music for the soul'
I got the honour to perform at the service to commemorate the 64th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence, organised by the Association of Jamaican Nationals Birmingham (UK). The theme of the day was ‘Keep Hope Alive.’ A song from my repertoire that fits it very well is ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water,’ released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970.
Here is the last clip I am going to share from the 2024 Caribbean Takeover files I found while browsing my folders the other day. In this one, I get off the stage to share the 70’s disco hit ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA with the audience.
Listen to my sax cover of the hit song ‘I Will Always Love You’ in the ballad version by Whitney Houston.
It’s always a pleasure to play songs by the legendary Michael Jackson. For a wedding that took place last month, I included this cover of his 1979 hit ‘Rock With You’. Here is a clip.
Looking at my files the other day, I stumbled upon some videos taken at the Caribbean Takeover of the National Maritime Museum 2024. Here is the first of the few I am going to share!
I played a blues version of the great song of praise ‘How Great Thou Art’, to honor and celebrate my dear friend Paul Streete during his funeral service. Gone but not forgotten.
‘You’re Still The One’ is arguably one of the best known songs of Shania Twain, which is a lot to say, given her extraordinary career as the best-selling female artist in country music history. Here is a sax version by The Millicent Stephenson Trio.
Celine Dion has one of those voices that has moved the hearts of entire generations. In the same line of our cover of Whitney Houston’s ‘Run To You’, which is part of a movie soundtrack, for Celine we picked the main theme of the film Up, Close & Personal: ‘Because You Loved Me’. Have a listen here.
A new, lovely Sunday afternoon, a new video for all of you. Back at Ditton Manor, the Millicent Stephenson Trio performed the legendary song ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, written by Bart Howard in 1954. Our interpretation is based on Frank Sinatra’s recording of it, which released around a decade later.
