Melanie Charles Band on the Wall Manchester Monday
Last year the Melanie Charles cover of Norman Mapp's 'Jazz (Ain't Nothing But Soul)' associated with Betty Carter was a rollercoaster ride full of sonic trickery and was on the vibrant club-friendly Y'all Don't (Really) Care About Black Women. On it Charles also covered Marlena Shaw classic 'Woman of the Ghetto' showing charismatic flair and sassiness in equal measure.
