Your support will help us complete the processes for editing this cd:
THE CONCEPT: After editing my first two cds with a contemporary jazz sound, for my third album I chose to record the music that made me fall in love with jazz: Bebop and Swing from the 40’s and 50’s, in the quest for that original sound plus the influence of the personality of the jazz we do in Argentina. The album is a sample of the material I’ve been singing between Buenos Aires, and my Tokyo tours, from 2012 to 2014. It conveys the experience of listening to the band at a jazz club, with an acoustic and natural sound, just as we sound live.
THE MUSIC: I recorded the style that originally made me fall in love with jazz, and the singers who inspired and influenced me: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Chet Baker, y Tony Bennett among many others.
THE PLAYLIST: We recorded a selection of 10 jazz standards, including the genre’s classical vocalist songs such as Body and Soul, That Old Black Magic, or I’ll Remember April, and compositions by great masters of jazz Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk and Carmen Mc Rae. We also recorded a surprise bonus track, from this part of the world…
THE JOURNEY: In 2012 I was invited to perform as resident singer at the “New York Bar” in Tokyo, Japan, the jazz bar from Sofia Copolla’s “Lost in Translation”. There, I was joined by a trio of talented musicians for three months. The experience was very enriching, playing night after night, going over the great standards and compositions by the jazz milestone musicians and composers I love, in a more traditional style than what I was used to. On returning home, I continued to explore the style with my local band formed by renown musicians of the Buenos Aires scene, performing at the jazz clubs and festivals in my country. In 2013 I was invited by another Tokyo jazz club, the “Maduro Lounge” for a four month season. Back in Buenos Aires, I then decided to record part of this music I love, and which I’ve been singing and enjoying on these trips between my hometown and Tokyo. This intensive training made me mature both as a singer and in the style, and it is this growth and passion that I want this new album to convey.
THE MUSICIANS: I summoned the musicians I thought were the “dream team” for playing this music, on account of their deep knowledge of the genre, their talent, and the creative input each one of them contributes to the project. I’ve been playing with them separately in different projects for some years, and have a lot of respect and affection for them. They are:
THE AUDIO: The premise was for the album to sound “natural” and clear, like the recordings of that time, without digital manipulation, as faithful as possible to the way we sound live, so as to convey the experience of going to listen to a group at a jazz club, where the singer and her musicians are very close, making the listener a part of this musical experience, it's energy and emotion.
THE PURPOSE: Showcasing the music we do at the jazz clubs in Buenos Aires to the rest of the country and the world, as I did in Japan, and to do that I need to materialize this album, so that it can start it’s own journey, and who knows what doors it’ll open!
Thank you so much for your support!
