Stacey says she always counts herself lucky to be working with her husband, who plays saxophone in her band.
“I find him incredibly inspiring… We understand each other musically so well. So not just as my composer and producer, but also as a saxophone player. When we’re on stage together, there’s such a musical chemistry there. “You get homesick when you’re on the road, as much as you love it… And yet my home is really just sitting right there next to me, and that alleviates a lot of that.” Touring the world with your band might sound glamorous, but it can be tough. Stacey says that laughter is key to surviving life on the road. “There’s so many hours out on the road, and you see each other at weird times of the day, you know, it’s not like you all show up at the office at 9.30am and you’re raring and ready to go.
“What I love about my band is this – at the core, there is a lot of laughter, and that laughter is a real support, it’s a lot of help.” And the other thing she loves about her band is that they never take their work for granted.
“I’m travelling with guys who are never blasé about the fact that we’re travelling the world. They still love it.
“They still show up at the airport to catch that flight to Asia at 9pm very excited for this journey ahead of us.”
Stacey Kent & Her Musicians will be playing at Cadogan Hall from 7.30pm on June 14, as part of the Jazz Divas series. T: 020 7730 4500.
