Rommi Smith performs and sings poems from Mornings and Midnights. A poetic homage to the lives and stories of Jazz and Blues singers - set to original jazz music composed and performed by Fruit Tree Project.

When legendary diva Gloria Silver reads her obituary in a national paper, she feels that the forgetfulness of the world has gone too far. And so begins the journey of telling the world she is still alive; a journey in which she shares the secrets and stories of the other, famous, Jazz and Blues singers whom she knew and loved; a journey of triumph and tragedy, which ultimately leads, not a revival of her fortunes, but to a deeper understanding of herself.


"the spoken word has never sounded better. Rommi's jazz feel and knowledge sets her apart from others. A triumphant fusion of music and the spoken word" - Steve Crocker Seven Jazz and Chapel Allerton Arts Festival
