Jo Harrop: In The Path Of A Tear and Strictly Come Dancing

If you saw the fabulous Lady Blackbird perform Reborn on this week's BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, you'll have heard backing vocals for our very own Jo Harrop. Jo's latest album is The Path Of A Tear, which came out earlier in 2024.



I was lucky enough to interview Jo for Harmonious World in 2021 when her album Weathering the Storm came out.

The Path Of A Tear was recorded at The Village Studios in Los Angeles in September 2023 and produced by Larry Klein, who is best-known for his groundbreaking work with a host of legendary artists including Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux and Herbie Hancock. It's a stunning album, including a number of tracks which are destined to become ear-worms.

Jo's performance with Lady Blackbird demonstrates her versatility - her voice suits jazz and soul equally but her solo work, and that with some of the greats of the current London jazz scene like Jamie McCredie and Paul Edis, is simply stunning.
