A voice you never heard before, a whisper as well as a burning wind. Priestess of the Sound, she would be, according to the rumors, haunting the outskirts of Paris... Lou Tavano's first album as a leader was recorded November 2011, and arranged by Alexey Asantcheeff. Released October 2012, self-produced, and entitled "Meets Alexey Asantcheeff", it is the result of their collaboration, their story since the day they met. "This record is an invitation to enter Lou's imaginarium. The audacious and modern arrangements bring the classic interpretation of jazz standards to a whole new level. There you are in a surprising strange universe, rarely wandered around by jazz singers... The will to tell the story behind the words is obvious here. Lou leaves us bewitched, bothered and bewildered." https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/loutavano

She is the new vocal-jazz sensation in a Parisian scene already jam-packed with impressive names. Now in her early 30s, Lou Tavano is bringing out her first album, a work that will attract the same attention as her trade-mark shock of fiery-red hair. Every song on 'For You' is its own little cosmos that reveals Tavano s extraordinary talent for creating a musical universe in which words carry just as much weight as the notes. ~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/You-LOU-TAVANO/dp/B019ZRVJIA
