Eleonora Kouneni

After a sold-out launch at the Pheasantry, Greek-born, London-based jazz vocalist and songwriter Eleonora Kouneni brings her band of longstanding collaborators to Jazz Café POSK for a showcase of her new EP ‘This Eager Heart’ - a story of love, loss and longing told through four timeless standards.

Following the crossover success of her independently released debut EP ‘If You Just…’, this new project with pianist Chris Lee marks her first recorded exploration of the Great American Songbook and has already earned her a place at this year’s Durham Jazz Festival.

The programme will also feature original songs from ‘If You Just…’, a selection of beloved standards, and an exclusive preview of new arrangements scheduled for release in the Autumn - offering audiences a blend of familiar repertoire, fresh interpretations, and the evolving sound of a partnership rooted in shared musical curiosity.
