As time goes by, the 18-year-old entertainer Elly Wright has become an 85-year-old jazz singer, composer, and music teacher, honored with awards including the Golden Medal of Honor of the Republic of Austria! The oldest jazz singer still active today! She certainly would not have achieved all this if it hadn't been for a certain Mr. Leo Wright (who worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Mingus, you name it, he's done it), who taught her almost everything “what it takes”! Unfortunately, he has now been on the “jazz island” up in heaven for over 30 years.
To mark this occasion, Elly Wright is celebrating with her colleagues, friends, and former students from times long past, who are still very young but continue to pass on her music to this day with great courage, heart, and brains.
Christine Brezovsky, Heide Krenn, Stephanie Semeniuc, and last but not least, Elly Wright Vocal, who are excellently supported by their colleagues Erwin Schmidt, Joschi Schneeberger, and Toni Mühlhofer. (Press release)
