Jazz has this delightful it generates for new talents, especially in the area close to my heart: the singers. Ella and Sarah can rest in peace, the succession is assured. Little wonder that will be discussed today is a Quebec-17 spring, once after N'Didi which has already been the subject of a column here or Kellylee Evans (album "Nina " tribute to Nina Simone , with a nice back of " Do not Let Me Be Misunderstood") . Like what our friends drinking maple syrup to the variétoche Dion Garou not phagocytosed any music scene, and there seems to be a place, especially on the plateaus TVs for anything other than the soup as is the case with us (If a Canadian reader could make his testimony that he did not hesitate).
But back on topic with Nikki Yanofsky who despite his young age is not the future of jazz but his present, for if we can find that it is perfectible (fortunately ), it gives off a virtuoso a singing technique, a sense of rhythm and a joy to sing obvious and contagious. Divine gift, perhaps, but also years of work behind. As soon as she began to speak Nikki sang Aretha discovered the Beatles or Stevie Wonder to 5 years, then the clash with Ella Fitzgerald who finally showed him his way. At 12 she made her first stage for charity concerts and Montreal Jazz Festival passes, youngest artist to be produced there.
In 2007, she was signed by Verve, again the youngest to drive collective tribute to Ella "We All Love Ella "where she worked alongside Etta James, Diana Krall and Stevie Wonder.
She has since played in Montreux, Carnegie Hall and shared the stage with Herbie Hancock monsters like or Quincy Jones , sung Olympics opening ceremony yesterday (Montreal 2010), brief 16 years already experienced many rewarding experiences.
I also recommend this DVD if you have a player multizone because it is only available in zone1
This disc produced by the legendary Phil Ramone (Ray, Dylan, Aretha, Elton, BB King ..) and written by Nikki Jesse Harris (Norah Jones) and songwriter Ron Sexsmith gives pride to the standards of jazz, Songs that chose Nikki because she enjoys the singing "Take The A-Train " "I Got Rhythm " "God Bless The Child " (Billie Holliday of , another influences), "You'll Have To Swing It Mr Paganini " (a classic repertoire of Ella played fantastically here, my favorite track on the album), and original compositions ( "Never Make It On Me " "For Another Day ", "Cool My Heels" "Grey Skies ") most likely pop, who are poor without being more dispensable to me (who likes well chastises well). Also note "On The Sunny Side on the Street / Fool on the rain " (from. .. Led Zep, the Miss Hendrix also includes concert) "First Lady " a touching tribute to Ella, and "Try Try Try " piece donated by Canadian singer Feist , a piece in the genre Sheryl Crow, and it ends with "Over The Rainbow " (The Wizard of oz) in a beautiful version even if it's really in passages Nikki swing that excites me, especially when she takes passage scat like "I Got Rhythm " you can see from the video below below where it attacks the "Airmail Special " Ella.
In this world of crazy, this girl is a breath of optimism and good humor, joy and hope, as she says herself in jazzy ballad "Welcome to my life": " Welcome to my life, all is bright here "Nikki it lasts, that's all we can wish you.
My advice: learn there now, in 10 years it will be "huge", well, figuratively I mean ..
