Accompanying her are some of the best jazz improvising musicians in the UK, Terry Seabrook on piano and Steve Thompson on double bass, Alex Eberhard on drums, each capable of holding an audience spellbound. At the centre of the band are the bewitching vocals of Magdalena that evoke Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald but in the end are as individual, fresh and original as the band accompanying her.
