Creativity and tradition are not opposed. Originating from Black American religious chants, Gospel is the major artistic expression of the spiritual culture, and its musical influence has long since gone beyond its religious confines : although we cannot attribute it with the paternity of jazz, it had a strong influence on this music and is at the very root of soul music. Inspired by and rooted in tradition, Gospel defies trends and brings with it a universal profoundness. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA), Monique Thomas very early joined the chorals of her local Baptist churches and in many of them became lead singer. Immersed in both the radition of spirituals and in contemporary soul, she developed her own interpretation of Gospel. Living in France since 1998, she has finally found the opportunity to lay claim to her culture with an original project in the European Gospel landscape. Voices Of Praise is a thoroughly modern approach to Gospel, both in its respect for tradition and in its intention of faith, and, with a modern orchestration, is directly linked to the blues, funk and R'N'B cultures. https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/moniquethomas

It is said that young singers have this fresh passion envied all jazz musicians. That's the effect we've had by meeting Monique Thomas. She sang a version of "burning-hot" Cherokee full of promises for the hearing of vocal jazz department at William Paterson University. The music integrity of Monique, his talent and experience are evident in each piece. She swings while telling each sentence of the text she sings very personal way. His passion and sensuality in the ballads, like his spark and his swing in fast tempos are beautifully highlighted by brilliant musicians and very successful arrangements. This disc is a wonderful musical adventure. Translate by google  http://www.agorila.com/-combo-monique-thomas-et-berecochea-685.php
