The Story So Far….
“What a sensational lunchtime jazz session from Aneesa Chaudhry at the Summertown Wine Cafe yesterday! My goodness the girl has an amazing range. She titallated us with Van Morison’s Moondance before nailing Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now’: goosebumps and swelling tear ducts all-round. Wonderful!”

Ealing Jazz Festival, July 2008
An original Punjabi take on the jazz tradition supported by some of the best Latin musicians, music full of light, the subtleness of jazz, and a commitment to the vitality of performance. …… Pete Watson, Crypt Stage Director
Isle of White International Jazz Divas Festival
“Aneesa Chaudhry wowed the audience at the Jazz Festival fringe with her unique approach to jazz, spicing things up nicely with exotic eastern flavours, both vocally and percussively, along with well known classics, all delivered with a dash of divadom and a sprinkle of stardust”
Mick Smith, Director, Quay Arts, April 2008
Birmingham International Jazz Festival
Aneesa Chaudhry’s sets in the Birmingham Jazz Festival were real stand-out occasions. Very musical, pretty unusual, and totally absorbing….

‘Aneesa Chauhry is back…
today following her excellent performance yesterday evening at the Mill Bay Inn. We caught her last night and thought she was a fantastic performer. Her eclectic take on jazz managed to clear the front row at one point, but don’t let that put you off – the rest of the room thought she was fabulous. She trained as a barrister, but the pull of music and the creative influences of her parents led her to give up with wig and replace it with sexy frocks and heels. She performs with ease and a great sense of humour – her voice is incredible and well worth checking out later today’.
Putney Jazz on the River 2007
“Aneesa sings with style and substance; powerful, evocative and often sultry renderings of the familiar and unfamiliar draw audiences to her, and her sense of fun and enjoyment is infectious. See, listen and be impressed. ”
