Meet the team! Lisa Graheme
Hi, I'm Lisa Grahame and I've played Lead Alto in Jools' Rhythm and Blues Orchestra now for twelve years.Before Jools, having spent much of my youth playing lead alto in NYJO (the National Youth Jazz Orchestra) I found myself playing in all sorts of professional musical scenarios, be it in the theatres of the West End of London (Annie,Fame,Soul Train), playing on albums as a session musician for numerous artists soloing or in brass sections,playing on cruises,in resorts(preferably ones where the sun shines all the time)The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Big Band or just working in and around London.You'll find me regularly playing at venues in London such as Ronnie Scotts and The 606 Club .I love being part of the team for Jools' Radio 2 Show,it's so fascinating listening to all the guests and their influences in music……..not sure how much I enjoy going down in to the bowels of Jools' studio for the archives though!!
