Eleonora Claps – “10pm” album launch
Eleonora returns to Jazz Café POSK to launch her new album “10pm” – a collection of original songs with music and lyrics all written by her. In quartet with John Crawford on piano, Andy Hamill on bass, Andres Ticino on drums and percussion – and venturing behind the drum kit for a couple of numbers – Eleonora presents all the new songs, as well as material from her debut “Stars”, including arrangements of music by Simply Red, Cyndi Lauper, Prefab Sprout and more.
Singer-songwriter and drummer Eleonora Claps was born in Milano, Italy. She started playing drums in her teenage years and was soon joining pop and rock bands on the city’s scene, recording in studio and performing live on stages across the country and abroad.
In 2007, she moved to London and was inspired to take on new challenges – studying jazz singing amongst them. Joining open mics around town was her first approach to performing as a singer. Having built a repertoire, including her own original material, she started gigging in London and across the country.
Her first album “Stars” (including originals as well as jazzy arrangements of pop tunes by Prefab Sprout, Cyndi Lauper, and Simply Red amongst others) was released in 2015, garnering support on UK press and radios. Her second album “10pm”, launching in March 2024, is a collection of ten original songs, featuring Eleonora as a singer and drummer, with John Crawford on piano and Andy Hamill on bass. A reflection on the speed and challenges of modern life, infused with nostalgia and memories of the past, the songs on Eleonora’s new album are a fitting continuation of a journey started with her debut album.
“I think we shall be hearing more of Eleonora Claps, and her own songs […] show a potential for successful songwriting” – Ian Maund, Sandy Brown Jazz
The self-composed songs also suggest real potential. The title track is fantastic, and hopefully we will be hearing more of her own songs in the near future” – Matthew Ruddick, Kind of Jazz
