Set Me On Fire - The Jazmine Ava Band - Album Release

Acclaimed local artists - The Jazmine Ava Band release the eagerly awaited second album Set Me on Fire - which promises to be an unforgettable live album of live and original Blues/Gypsy and Funky Folk/Country music from acclaimed songwriter and vocalist Jazmine Ava.

Set Me on Fire is an outstanding live album with an original and captivating sound. It is beautifully crafted with Jazmine Ava's lyrical brilliance, breathtaking vocals and acoustic guitar. The upbeat swing of funky folk and old blues rhythms fuses with powerfully honest lead guitar and saxophone solos to deliver an album that is expected to surpass Jazmine Ava's hugely successful debut Sunshine & Shadows; which received rave reviews, press attention, radio play on BBC Suffolk, BBC Essex and Saint Fm as well as airplay on a Californian radio station, BBS Radio.

Jazmine Ava, the critically acclaimed, singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist says of the bands music, Every song we create reaches out from the heart to capture the depth of all the feelings and experiences we find meaning in within our everyday lives, it is an honesty that our audience connect with.

The bands ever growing fan base includes Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac, who has attended their gig at The Charter Hall, Colchester in June 2009, as his nephew Joe Green has been a guest saxophone player for them on a number of occasions.

Jazmine Ava, Geoff Clark (Lead Guitar), Ken Flatt (Bass) and newer members Christopher Daniels (Saxophone), and Cameron Morrell (Drums), have formed a band of exceptional musicians who have developed a unique style of raw and passionate music which fuses different genres of Blues, Soul, Folk, Country, Gypsy and Reggae music.

Jazmine Ava - started her musical career in Brighton, where she self- released a successful acoustic style album Sunshine & Shadows in 2007. She returned to her original home in Essex 2 years ago - bursting onto the music scene and stunning audiences across Essex and Suffolk. Last summer, the band made local headlines for playing the main stage at The Wivenhoe Mayfair and have played at prestigious venues all over Essex, Suffolk and London including The Charter Hall in Colchester, The Kelvedon Festival, The Burnham River Festival, The Ipswich Music Day Festival, The Cramphorn Theatre and the famous Bedford in London.
