Nicole
Chillemi -
Appreciative
of any song with substance, Nicole chooses old jazz
standards as her mode of expression. It follows
then that among her idols are Sarah Vaughn, Ella
Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Anita Oday, and Nina
Simone. Though she does not scat and her voice is
soprano, Nicole strives for the status of jazz singer.
Her voice is full of colors, smooth and clean. One
of her mentors describes Nicole's voice as a fragile
fern, otherworldly. Other listeners mention the
soulful, haunting quality of her pure and clear
voice. www.nicolechillemi.com

Will Scruggs Jazz Fellowship -
“Scruggs’ flair for evoking classic jump-tune romps and horn-powered Crescent City funk couldn’t be more apparent.” His CD, BlueBari Jam, is “a dynamic arrangement showcasing Scruggs’ surging tenor and the Jazz Fellowship’s tight rhythm section. It’s an enjoyable trip that will appeal to fans of traditional jazz as well as devotees of R&B, blues and reggae.” -Mike Joyce, Washington Post, February 1, 2008. |

Bonaventure Quartet -
With the sultry, silky voice of former Lost Continentals front woman Amy Pike and the gypsy-jazz flavored guitar of Charles Williams, The Bonaventure Quartet is a marvelous melting pot. They add Southern sass to the smokey jazz of Parisian cabarets between the world wars on their new album, "The Secret Seduction of the Grand Pompadour." The songs are steadfast and mysterious. They are sleek and sexy, smooth like honey spread on gold bars. Amy Pike’s vocals are celestial in a bawdy kind of way; sweet and sassy, delivering something both timeless and easy to swoon over. (Atlanta Journal Constitution and Creative Loafing). |
