About Let's Call it a Day: As Yoxon's debut album, this work showcases her clear and unembellished lyrical delivery, poignant song choice, and emotionally charged performance. Using a wide variety of guitars, Yoxon & Gely create atmospheric, folk-influenced interpretations of jazz standards.

Artists' Bios: Young vocalist Renee Yoxon is quickly becoming one of the most in demand jazz singers in the Ottawa region thanks to her grace, captivating presence and beautiful voice. Introduced to jazz music in high school, her tastes and vocal repertoire range from bebop to contemporary favourites. After graduating from high school Renee studied voice with Tena Palmer while completing a degree in physics with minors in math and music from Carleton University. Recently, Renee has participated in the National Arts Centre's Manhattan on the Rideau masterclasses led by Theo Bleckmann and Peter Eldridge. 

Distinguished by more poise and assurance than most young women her age, Renee delivers unique interpretations of jazz standards. Hear her every Monday night at Bar 56 in Ottawa's Byward Market. Rene Gely has pursued his musical passions in San Francisco, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Paris. A Parisian for 12 years, he studied with the French world music guitarist Pierre Bensusan and the acclaimed American expatriate, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. Rene has recorded with Toronto jazz musicians such as Perry White and George Koller, as well as with the Irish singer Mary Reidy. While in San Francisco in 2003, Rene started his world beat trio Pulse Mondiale. He later relocated to the Ottawa area where he is originally from. Here he has formed a new edition of Pulse Mondiale, as well as new collaborations with the city's best musicians. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/reneeyoxonrenegely
