Catherine Summers returns to The Ellington with a fresh twist on jazz – where contemporary pop meets smooth swing, clever arrangements, and a whole lot of fun.
Backed by her stellar 6-piece band, Summers reimagines iconic modern songs with rich jazz textures and a playful, genre-blurring style. From Beyoncé to Bill Withers, Amy Winehouse to Elton John, Duran Duran, Lana Del Rey, The Eurythmics and more – this is a bold collision of the familiar and the unexpected.
Breathing fresh jazz life into modern iconic songs, Catherine brings her signature style, warmth, and effortless charm to the stage. Expect a show full of surprises – clever and fun-loving and you could even say funky. This isn’t the jazz you think you know. It’s world-class, genre-bending music with a playful spirit and a modern edge.
With smoky vocals, sharp arrangements, and a night of music that’s as entertaining as it is musically magnetic – this is Catherine Summers at her finest.

“We talk about Catherine Summers off-air, and both feel the same way about her talent! Apart from accurate pitch and beautifully controlled vibrato, she has the style and maturity to carry off the Great American Songbook compositions – just like her US idols.” – Ann Bolton & Ken Turnbull, Jazz Life Main FM 94.9 Victoria
