The following testimonials are examples that demonstrate how Pippi is more than a singer, song writer & song stylist... “Thank you for the CD! WOW!!! You are an incredibly gifted musician. So, you actually gave me 2 gifts! Ha Ha! I was a little stressed when I started the CD, and by „Black Coffee? I was groovin? as I was cruisin? to get to my lunch date”... Gretchen. Another admirer says, “Her voice has been described as an instrument; another master has emerged, as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Washington.” Pippi is a natural entertainer, sultry at times, always powerful and exciting, but what sweeps you away is the electric and sensual emotion that emanates from her to you, telling a story in song like you’ve never heard before; a natural power in nature.
Pippi Ardennia…a Chicago native, singing since she was 13 years old, has performed at many of Chicago's most respected music and jazz clubs from the Burning Spear, High Chaparral, Capitol Theater, Redhead, Green Dolphin, Chicago Symphony Center, the Taste of Chicago, Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, MN and on Chicago’s internationally famous Rush Street. She has appeared at Mr. Kelly’s, The Rosebud, The Backroom, and Chicago’s elite private Tavern Club. She has performed for such notables as President Clinton, Mayor Daley, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli and more. She’s been featured in commercials, on TV, and on numerous radio interviews.
Liza Minnelli said, “Pippi, you have a great voice, you?re great.” The great jazz trumpeter, Freddy Hubbard said, “People will know Pippi!” Ramsey Lewis said, “You know what you?re doing.”
“Ms. Ardennia's classy style puts her in the Major League of jazz vocalists. Her easy-going style and varied delivery does stand in comparison to the great jazz divas such as Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne.”--Ian Tiele, President, Brookfield Jazz Society.
Pippi’s ‘Black Coffee CD is a collection of jazz classics from the Great American Songbook which is hard to beat; “A monument to a magical musical era now long gone by.”---Allen Hall. After listening to Black Coffee, jazz lovers recognize the subtle, blended tones of Jazz eras most powerful Mistresses of Song that seem to channel through Pippi Ardennia’s style.

From the first track, you start to wonder, Anita Baker? Roberta Flack? Etta James? A shade of Aretha and a little Billie on the side? One look at this set list and you know you are in for a wildly joyous ride: From Burt Bacharach to Billy Strayhorn, from Rodgers & Hart to the Beatles, from Elton John to Rodgers & Hammerstein, from Shirley Horn to Maria Muldaur, the covers are as diverse as Pippi herself. And she also draws on her own creative resources for the sweetly engaging title track (written with Kenny Campbell) and the down and not quite dirty "Modern Day Blues", co-written with her remarkable PipJazz Experience band (Billy and Ricky Peterson, Peter Schimke, Glenn Swanson and more) and business partner Jack Scheetz. It's hard to single out one gemstone from a bagful of diamonds --a "Here's to Life" with the power of Shirley Horn and a touch of sass that is pure Pippi; a samba spin on "Midnight at the Oasis" that underscores Pippi's unerring sense of time; the stunning duet with bassist Billy Peterson that opens "Blue Moon." And then there's her elegant pairing with guest guitarist Paul Bollenback on "Prelude to a Kiss" that she reprises as a swinging "symphony" with just pianist Mary Louise Knutson on the final track. Pick any tune here -- Pippi exudes a commanding musical presence as readily in the studio as on the live stage, with that storyteller's art that can turn the most benign lyric into a Shakespearian masterpiece. Songs so good, performed so well, Pippi and her band "make you want to sang."
Love So Good2
