Jazz singer Aubrey Logan guests, playing live with Jools and the band and picking some of her favourite records

This is how she describes herself - and she's not wrong!

"Aubrey Logan takes a song you've heard a thousand times and spins it on its heels. It's new. It's fresh. It delights.
And she writes. Oh, does she write! - songs with lyrics that paint the chambers of the heart with all the colors on the human palette.
And whether she's jammin' on her trombone or sailing through a song with her nothing-held-back, multi-octave vocal instrument, Aubrey captivates audiences and delivers originality to everything modern in music. Her style as an entertainer ranges from sassy to sultry, and her performances never fail to elicit the highest critical praise.
Aubrey Logan is jazz, yes, but she can't be defined by jazz alone. Hear her tap into the graces of a neo-soul ballad, then claim your seat in First Class as she pilots a flight of classic rock.
A graduate of Boston's renown Berklee College of Music and winner of the top vocal competitions at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Aubrey is passionate about her art and finds herself at home whether in a recording studio, on stage with symphony orchestras, in intimate clubs with her own ensemble or in a classroom teaching kids.".
