Can a vocalist be in our 'player' category ? Never heard of her at all, and wondering whether anyone here knows this Montreal-resident singer ? She has some YT vids w/ some accompanied by guitarists. Young effortless * good * jazz voice.
Anyway here she is doing one song reminding me of Johnny Smith,
And one reminding me of Kenny Burrell -
Enjoy !

She's remarkable. It's lovely that she seems to enjoy singing with a guitarist – and she seems to find a good number of really excellent ones.
Her voice reminds me of Ella's – kind of smoky at the bottom, but clear as a bell up top. And like Ella, she sounds like she was born to sing.

I enjoyed this very much, thank you!

Lots of luck to her !Last edited by Dennis D; 04-04-2024 at 07:59 AM.

When I was music director for a small local jazz festival, pre-covid, I had booked her with Montreal guitarist Sam Kirmayer [who is also fabulous, btw] and she put on a great concert. She is indeed an excellent singer.
And if any of you don't know Sam, Sam Kirmayer
He's great as well. They have played together a number of times.

This is a lovely performance too .... she's very open and natural-sounding.
