Jen Salisbury presents “Call of the Wild”

Call of the Wild is the second album by Jen Salisbury and her team of talented musicians. The songs are filled with vintage style jazz flair and fun.

Jen Salisbury’s voice and delivery are inspired by the likes of Doris Day, Julie London and Billie Holiday.

On Thursday April 4 at Paris Cat Jazz Club you will hear the songs performed by a lineup of Melbourne’s top jazz musicians including:

Voice: Jennifer Salisbury

Trumpet: Daimon Brunton

Guitar: Samuel O’halloran

Piano: Selene Messinis

Tenor Sax: Paul Van Ross

Trombone: Callum Mintzis

Double Bass: Hiroki Hoshino

Drums: Kieran Rafferty

Jen Salisbury is a warm, caring person, filled with empathy and a kind of contagious energy. She is also a singer with a very special affinity to vintage jazz, an inherent sense of swing and a very characteristic vibrato. She has been demonstrating all these qualities singing standards with her trio for a few years now, but it was when she presented herself as a songwriter – with Unspoken Rule – that she got to really blossom. Now she has a sophomore album ready, Call of the Wild –which further establishes her songwriting qualities and commitment to creating a songbook all of her own. If the first album was an anatomy of a love story, a theme that anyone can relate to, this one is really personal. It is an introspection, a collection of contemplative essays in vintage-jazz-form on growing up, on trying to find yourself and pursue your dreams, whilst – or despite of – facing the challenges and obligations of adulthood. A theme, that is, that anyone can relate to, once again.

We are so happy to be returning to Paris Cat. 

Unspoken Rule:

Let go as Jen and her stellar jazz band take you on a journey through vintage soundscapes and bittersweet emotions.

Intrigue - Romance - Desire - Love - Heartbreak - Despair - Hope and everything, in fact, that makes life worth living. 

This is the story of ‘Unspoken Rule’, a jazz project built around the endless ramifications of a love cycle experience, as narrated through Jennifer Salisbury’s songs. 

When onstage, she channels the great voices of the ‘40s and ‘50s guiding her audience in a time-traveling roller-coaster of emotions, navigating the history of jazz. Her own songwriting is deeply influenced by the golden era of jazz; it’s almost impossible to tell apart the songs that she wrote herself, from the classic repertoire she draws from to tell the Unspoken Rule story; songs immortalised by Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Doris Day, Benny Goodman, in unexpected arrangements by James Mustafa, turning the project into a balancing act between the vintage and modern aesthetics. 

Tickets $25
