Jesse Palter Jazz At 23 years old, through both training and pure instinct, Jesse has grown into one of the most accomplished and dynamic vocalists (and composers) in the jazz and overall music scenes. Her voice is a flexible, facile instrument wielded by an ambitious and visionary player; it can be sweet or salty, polished or raw, wide in range and broad in stylistic scope, channeling and combining influences such as Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Carter Sarah Vaughan, Patsy Cline, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and Carmen McRae. It's the voice of someone who has a voracious appetite for growth and is fearless in that pursuit -- the perfect equation for a promising future. "I've grown so much -- musically, harmonically, as a thinker in general," says Jesse, who took Outstanding Jazz Vocalist honors at the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Detroit Music Awards. "Instead of just getting on the bandstand and playing tunes off-the-cuff, we have our own unique interpretations of stan...

Tinha apenas quatro anos quando se encantou com os sons do contra baixo de seu pai Pete Woolley. Mais do que uma influencia a musica e para Elizabeth uma heranca.

Aos quatorze anos comecou a ter aulas de flauta transversal com Joao Dias Carrasqueira, logo, tambem fez da voz uma flauta e participou de corais Paulistanos. A formacao erudita foi lapida por outros estilos acompanhando Pete emergiu no Jazz, na musica instrumental Brasileira, na Bossa Nova e logo viu brotar sua sonoridade por meio da musica popular Brasiliera.

Fernando Acosta Menor (Saxofonista – Clarinetista), * El excelente saxofonista cubano, que acompaña al cantante Arjona en su Tour Latinoaméricano 2009, nos cuenta de su vida y de sus futuros proyectos. “ He tenido la suerte de trabajar con músicos muy importantes de la escena musical Cubana como Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, Chucho Valdez. Ellos eran integrantes de la Orquesta Cubana de la Música Moderna (1967), y que luego conformaran, en 1972, el grupo Irakere, uno de los grupos de música popular más importantes de Cuba. Yo entonces paso a ocupar la plaza dejada por Paquito en la Orquesta de Música Moderna, y luego de unos años formamos un grupo que se llamó “AfroCuba”, con la cual realicé giras por Varios Club de Jazz de Europa y dejó plasmado su trabajo en tres discos de música instrumental. Después se unió al cantautor Sílvio Rodriguez con el que realicé otras producciones como Causas y Azares y Oh Melancolía, realizando varias giras. * Nuevos proyectos - “Ac...

Jazz / Lírica NEW YORK, New York Estados Unidos Born and raised in New York City vocalist Audrey Silver has been impressing audiences in her home town as a warm and sensitive stylist. A four-month engagement at the Mansfield Hotel's M Bar readied her for last year's five-month run at Club Macanudo on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Silver has likewise become a familiar face at The Cutting Room, Chez Suzette, Shelly’s, Cleopatra's Needle, and the Anyway Café. The steady stream of appearances is a testament to her instantaneous appeal and unique approach to the American songbook. Delicious articulation and velveteen delivery lends "Up Jumped Spring" and "This Can't Be Love" the charms of a cozy romance—with an added touch of mischief. Silver's ballads are understated and intelligent. Although she considers Joe Williams, Anita O'Day, Bill Evans, and Ben Webster among her major influences, Silver has also received inspiration from arti...
