"Kyle’s lyrics, like the most affecting poetry, have a simplicity about them that harbors emotive depths". Australian Jazz Net

Foundry616 is delighted to have award winning Australian jazz singer Josh Kyle back to perform, more than a year on from his debut.

Hailed a "new vocal sensation" by The Observer (UK), Josh Kyle is a very versatile jazz singer whose cool, swinging style alternates between seductive, and hip. The past five years have seen him working with some of the best in London, including Claire Martin and playing all the clubs from Ronnie Scotts to the 606.

Josh release his Debut album Possibilities as a part of the London International Jazz Festival in 2011.

Since his subsequent return to Sydney, he has maintained the buzz by touring nationally to promote his album, performing at key festivals and venues and being the only male finalist in the 2012 National Jazz Awards (Vocals).

"An assured and confident recording ...a successful approach merging the contemporary with the tradition.."
Mal Stanley - ABC Jazztrack

Josh Kyle - polished, sophisticated, informed and a very enjoyable listen.

“Josh Kyle’s unfailingly beautiful tone, crystal clear articulation and super fine phrasing announces a singer with a real jazz sensibility” JAZZWISE


Review by Ian Patterson (Australian Jazz.net)

SongsOfFriends-cover

Having sought and found his muse in London where he recorded his much-lauded debut, Possibilities (Jazzizit, 2011), singer Josh Kyle has since returned to Australia to embark upon a new chapter in what already looks like a stellar career in the making. It wasn’t long either, before Kyle found new inspiration on home soil.

Kyle brings his unique voice and self-penned lyrics to the tunes of four Australian jazz musicans, among them his duo partner on this beguiling project, Sam Keevers. The title of the CD is apt on another level, as the intimacy in Kyle and Keevers’ heartfelt interplay exudes the warmth and easy flow of conversation between confidants. There’s no striving to impress, no dramatic dynamics for effect, and yet within the relative simplicity of the arrangements there resides a quietly powerful chemistry.
