“Helen Baden's cool and sultry voice is one of the happiest hearings in Britain's jazz firmament today!” Digby Fairweather
 

Solo Artist > Helen Baden > Full Biog

Reminiscent of singers Jo Stafford, Helen Forrest, Doris Day with a little Ella thrown in for good measure, you'll love the sound and the entertainment that Helen and her musicians can provide! Well known for her superb articulation, Helen sings it as the composer and lyricist intended.

Helen performs with distinguished musicians such as Digby Fairweather and his Half Dozen, Humphrey Lyttelton, George Melly, Dave Green, Jimmy Hastings, Kate Williams, Gunther Keuymer, Geoff Castle and Rod Fogg.

Equally happy swinging with an 8 piece band, or providing a more intimate feel with a quartet or duo, Helen is a vivacious character, welcomed at top venues including Pizza Express, Dean St, the Bull’s Head in Barnes, the Spice of Life and various festivals and jazz clubs across the UK.




 
A special show dedicated to the memory of Ella Fitzgerald and the work she did with brilliant jazz guitarist, Joe Pass has been received with great acclaim!

Helen appears regularly with Digby Fairweather and his Half Dozen and recently has been asked to add a bit of glamour to a new band for 2007:
The British Jazz Allstars
an 8 piece band made up of the very best British masters – incorporating our own statesmen;

Digby Fairweather, Len Skeat, Nick Dawson, Pete Cater, Mark Nightingale, Alan Barnes, Julian Marc Stringle and Karen Sharp.

“It’s always nice to draw attention to a fine voice”
Humphrey Lyttelton
