Tatiana Eva-Marie was born in a musical family, in Switzerland, to renowned film composer Louis Crelier and solo violinist Anca Maria. She grew up surrounded by classical music on one side and jazz and music from the seventies on the other. Tatiana Eva-Marie calls herself a “recording studio rat”, and she started her career as a singer at age 4 when she recorded a duo album with famous children’s performer Henri Des. Two years later, she recorded her first solo album and featured in her first professional theatre play. She fell in love with the stage and has been performing ever since.

During her childhood, Tatiana Eva-Marie performed regularly in various stage productions and sang as a guest star in her father’s New Orleans style band The Cotton Club Jazz Orchestra for the closing ceremony of the Vevey Comedy Film Festival. At age 12, she started her professional training at the Theatre Populaire Romand acting school in Switzerland, and then a few years later, at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.

Tatiana Eva-Marie was accepted in a special high school for young artists and athletes and graduated at only 16 years old. She then moved to Paris, where she studied medieval literature at the Sorbonne University during the day, and performed as a Gypsy singer and dancer at night in cabarets across the city, barefoot on tables with the Eastern mafia drinking vodka out of her shoes.

She performed as a singer and actress in some of the most renowned theaters in France, including the Comedie Francaise and the Theatre du Rond Point. Tatiana Eva-Marie wrote and directed two musical theater plays, Rhapsodia and The Magic Violin, which had a lot of success at the Avignon Theater Festival. Tatiana Eva-Marie now lives in New York City, where she is continuing her artistic career. She is the lead singer of Avalon Jazz Band and collaborates with many talented artists on film, music and theater projects. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/tatiana-eva-marie

Tatiana Eva-Marie Returns with a New Project Celebrating Guitarist Django Reinhardt, the Inventor of Gypsy Jazz.

Tatiana Eva-Marie emanates creativity her vintage flair, tousled locks and enchanting vocals are evidence enough. The Swiss-born singer grew up surrounded by creatives from musicians to painters and poets. Her career is wonderfully rich in color – and the self-professed ‘6-hour sleeper’ has certainly been busy. Four album releases, performances including the Lincoln Center, Birdland and New Orleans Jazz Festival, librettist for the composer, Gérard Massini’s opera, editor-in-chief for Shrine and Vents Magazine… and that’s only skimming the surface. We’re chatting about the new and upcoming projects swirling in the energetic and eclectic world of Tatiana Eva-Marie.

Aptly nicknamed the ‘The Gypsy-jazz Warbler’, by The New York Times no less, Tatiana is most recently celebrating her gypsy jazz origins with the new music release, ‘Djangology’. The song pays homage to the legendary music of Django Reinhardt, the jazz pioneering Romani-French guitarist and composer. Inspired by Django’s musical legacy but uncertain of how she fit in as a singer amidst a sea of jazz guitarists, Tatiana boldly decided “to write (her) own lyrics, tell (her) own stories and reinvent his music in (her) own image.” The project sees Tatiana share insights into her nomadic life with humor and poetic authenticity. Alongside her band, ‘The Avalon Jazz Band’, Tatiana explores Gypsy jazz through original lyrics and musical arrangements and Djangology is only the beginning. The creative spark is set to evolve into an album and series of tours in 2023 and beyond so keep an eye out!

Tatiana’s adoration for jazz music and the Parisian art scene era was an unmistakable match made in heaven for another of her recent creative collaborations - Gérome Barry’s film, ‘Swing Rendez-Vous’. Set for release in January 2023, Swing Rendez-Vous weaves a tale of love, music and community infused with the quintessential blues and swing of jazz music. Tatiana fittingly served as inspiration for the story and plays the leading female role in the film. The feel-good musical comedy is the ideal start to what is sure to be a jazz-packed year ahead for Tatiana.

Tatiana Eva-Marie - Two at the Most

One of the great things about jazz, as I’m sure many fans will agree, is that the tunes stand up very well however they are arranged. Most often composed at a piano, this harmonically rich and rhythmically interesting music might later be translated into a small combo or big band format but it still sounds fabulous when played by a lone pianist, as the composer (usually) originally conceived it. If you require any evidence of this, I present for your consideration Two at the Most by Tatiana Eva-Marie, with Jeremy Corren, and guesting on two titles, Mark Buchan.

A minimalist production featuring one voice (plus guest) and one piano, this record takes ten familiar classics from the Great American Songbook and strips them right back to purest melody, harmony and rhythm. Providing the first of these is Eva-Marie, a Swiss-born actress, singer and bandleader who has been since a decade ago, when big band swing was all the rage a passionate advocate for softer, smoother French jazz in the vein of Jean Sablon, Yves Montand, and Henri Salvador.

Eva-Marie fronts the Avalon Jazz Band, a toe-tapping Francophile string outfit which is in much demand amongst the organizers of swing dance events. Her sweet voice sounds effortlessly flawless, with something of Billie Holiday about it a warmth, a faint vibrato, and the way she sometimes graces the end of a note with a little upward flick. And it gets even more air time than usual on this duet album, a tribute to “old New York, piano bars, the American Songbook, alcohol, late nights, friendship” and the late Manhattan-based pianist Rick Unterberg (a friend and a casualty, at 61, of the pandemic).

She is joined by Jeremy Corren, a recent graduate of Columbia University who has already clocked up performances at Blue Notes in New York, Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai, as well as playing the Newport, Chicago, North Sea, and Umbria Jazz Festivals. Young Corren displays both the dexterity and deft touch of an old master, with the way in which he releases each thoughtfully approached note saying as much about his skill as the manner in which he attacks them. (I use “attack” in the strictly technical sense, for none of Corren’s key presses could be called anything but a caress.)

I first heard it while sitting outside a café on a warm but overcast day, the drizzle bouncing gently off the awning above my head exactly how this music should be heard, I’d argue. Tracks include “Fly Me to the Moon,” “The Nearness of You,” and “I Got It Bad (and That Ain’t Good),” presented in the simplest possible way, each tune arranged sparsely and without gimmicks. None will get you up and dancing but the result is a soothing balm for the nerves, a bubble bath for the brain, a spa for the senses, hot chocolate for the soul… you get the idea.

Eva-Marie takes a breather on tracks seven (“They’ll Never Believe Me”) and ten (“I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face”), allowing Mark Buchan to take over the vocals. He too has a voice like whipped cream, bright yet smooth, providing another perfect match to Corren’s keyboard caresses. Together these three have created something special, reverse engineering ten wonderful jazz pieces to reveal the essential beauty at the heart of each, without any embellishment. Check it out on Bandcamp, where you can pick up the digital album for whatever you think it’s worth. By Dave Doyle https://syncopatedtimes.com/tatiana-eva-marie-jeremy-corren-two-at-the-most/
