Alyson Green
  


Jazz has always played a large part in Alyson Green's life. Her father was a professional jazz drummer and her maternal grandmother played saxophone with, amongst others, the BBC Radio Big Band, and as a small child Alyson would listen to Barbra Streisand, Mel Torme and Sarah Vaughan records while her friends would be playing pop music. Alyson began learning her craft at the age of 11 when she attended the Corona Academy Stage School in London as a full-time student. As a child she appeared in several high profile film and TV productions, most notable of which are the original Superman, starring the late Christopher Reeve, and Young Winston, a biopic of Winston Churchill. As an young adult Alyson toured in stage productions of Grease and The Rocky Horror Show. She then turned to her love of Jazz and embarked on a national tour, singing with Glen's brother Herb in the Herb Miller Big Band, before forming her own quartet and gigging regularly around London.

After a break to raise her family, Alyson once again returned to her love of music & singing and has gained recognition for her sensitive and unique interpretation of some of the great jazz classics.

In 2004 Alyson released her debut album 'SECRET' at a sellout gig at Londons 606 club and since then has been touring regularly and reaching a wider fan base, selling out several times at such top venues as the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, The 606 Jazz Club in Chelsea, Pizza on the Park in Knightsbridge and The Bulls Head in Barnes as well as various jazz venues around the country. Her latest album 'ON MY WAY TO YOU' was released in June 2009 and has already been acclaimed as:
