A cool-toned Austrian jazz vocalist, Simone Kopmajer sings in flawless English. She had classical piano lessons starting at the age of eight and at 12 began playing saxophone. She performed in a youth big band and sang regularly in her father's band as a teenager. At 17 she studied with Sheila Jordan, who encouraged her. Kopmajer also studied with Mark Murphy, Jay Clayton, and Michele Hendricks. Since earning a Masters from the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria, Kopmajer has toured the Netherlands twice with the Euro Big Band, appeared at European jazz festivals, and recorded three CDs: Moonlight Serenade (for the Japanese Venus label), her best-known set Romance (for Zoho), and her privately released Taking a Chance on Love. Each CD emphasizes her own fresh versions of standards.
Emotion
Thank you Kamane for this lovely album, this girl is a good singer and the piano accompaniment is just right.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you're back, Kamane! Thanks for the "Emotion" ! Simone's renditions of such immortal songs are a feast for the ears, mind and heart and John Di Martino at the piano is just right, as Jazzman77 said.
ReplyDeleteThis one is really nice. Merci.
