"Polly Gibbons is unmistakably a class act". This was the definitive statement made by the prestigious newspaper The Guardian about the talent of this acclaimed British artist, a first-class performer with contagious energy and a magnetic stage presence.

With a solid career spanning over two decades, Polly has received two nominations for "Best Jazz Vocalist" by the BBC and Jazz FM, and is often referred to by the esteemed magazine DownBeat as the female version of the iconic Gregory Porter.

Her journey also includes opening major tours in the UK for global legends such as George Benson and Gladys Knight, as well as three critically acclaimed albums recorded under the American label Resonance Records in Beverly Hills.

Her musical signature goes far beyond traditional jazz, blending deep roots in Blues, Soul, Gospel, and Rhythm & Blues. This rich musical heritage resonates in every melody, phrase, and note, always delivered with extraordinary passion and interpretive sublimity.

Accustomed to performing on the world's biggest stages, Polly Gibbons has taken her voice to the iconic Royal Albert Hall and the legendary Ronnie Scott's club in London. She has also crossed the Atlantic to New York, the birthplace of modern jazz, where she established a regular artistic residency at the legendary Birdland club, and is now a constant presence at major festivals across the United States, Canada (Montreal Jazz Festival), Europe, and Asia, where she has enchanted audiences, as seen at the prestigious Java Jazz Festival in Indonesia.

Algarve All Jazz '26 combines this impressive voice with the virtuosity of the Algarve Jazz Orchestra to create three memorable concerts in the cities of Loulé, Lagos, and Lagoa. This unmissable encounter marks another edition of a premium festival that continues to elevate the cultural standards of the Algarve region.

Tickets for this concert cost €15 for the first tier and €12 for the second tier and are available at Bilheteira Online and at usual locations.

The usual quality of the Algarve Jazz Orchestra combined with the class and unique voice of Polly Gibbons promises an unmissable concert at the Lagoa Congress Centre! 🤩✨🤗
