Bye Bye Blackbird, Rachelle Ferrell

By Unknown | Published Sunday, December 30, 2012

Rachelle Ferrell is my favourite contemporary jazz singer. The 1964 born American singer’s singing is highly technical with a mind-blowing six octave vocal range. She reaches what is called the whistle register. The first time I heard it I couldn’t believe she did that with her own voice.

Bye Bye Blackbird is the third track of her 1995 release First Instrument which came out by Blue Note.

Don't mind the video just listen to the music.

Run & Dumb taken from Heart Mouth Dialogues, Elisa Rodrigues

By Unknown | Published Sunday, November 11, 2012

Elisa Rodrigues’ debut album Heart Mouth Dialogues is said to be a sweet surprise. Honestly I haven’t listened to it but taking into account the live performances I wholeheartedly believe it. Elisa Rodrigues is a young Portuguese jazz singer who along with Júlio Resende, an incredibly talented pianist, has put out this critically acclaimed album.

Listen to Run, an original composition and their rendition of Nirvana’s Dumb.

Unkerich, Bohren und Der Club of Gore

By Unknown | Published Saturday, October 27, 2012

Bohren und Der Club of Gore is quite a singular band. They come from Germany and play a downtempo dark-jazz sound. Put your best headphones on and chill out. The featured track, Unkerich, can be found on their 2008 release Dolores.
