Why this recording

A live EP of the same name, “Live At The Jazz Cafe”, goes with this video, released on Olivia Dean's official channel. Over 35 minutes the singer is backed by six credited musicians, including a full horn section — trumpet, trombone, saxophone — around Deschanel Gordon on keys and Joel Waters on drums. The description also names the tour's sound crew, front of house and monitors. The eight songs, from “Echo” to “Reason To Stay” by way of “What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays?”, capture where her repertoire stood in autumn 2021.

“Live At The Jazz Cafe” captures British singer Olivia Dean on the stage of Camden’s legendary Jazz Café in London, in a filmed live concert released in 2021. Hailing from East London, Olivia Dean crafts a warm, jazz-tinged soul, carried by a rounded voice and delicate phrasing. The set, drawn from her early singles and EPs of the 2019–2021 period, predates her 2023 album “Messy” that would bring her wider fame. It features “Echo”, “Be My Own Boyfriend”, “Slowly”, “The Hardest Part” and “Reason To Stay”, backed by a live band that showcases the artist’s intimate writing and melodic sense. The hushed setting of the Jazz Café — an emblematic venue of London’s soul and jazz scene — offers an ideal frame for this performance. A precious live capture for discovering Olivia Dean at the dawn of her career, in a human-scale format.
