Cuppa Joe vocal jazz quartet
Cuppa Joe was inspired by the sounds of The Manhattan Transfer and tunes like Java Jive. Its jazz-based repertoire includes a variety of their arrangements, along with those of New York Voices and other close harmony groups, and is augmented by songs of popular artists like James Taylor and The Beatles.
Musically diverse, but with common backgrounds in piano and vocals, John Wilson (founder and tenor) is joined by Valérie Bouillant (soprano), Deanna Rozon (alto) and Peter Feldman (baritone). Popular performance venues for the quartet have included Gaia Java, Zolas, Pressed and Café British, along with a variety of private concerts.
Warm reception and praise have greeted Cuppa Joe, with testimonials from local musicians and restaurateurs.
