Backed by top-flight New York players, this singer soars on sophisticated, danceable standards with a piano trio and pushes the rhythmic and expressive envelope with a guitar/bass duo. "Straddles both worlds: the slick and seedy, the bright and dark..."
Bio / Background
Though New York jazz and blues singer Andrée Pagès sings the standards of American jazz repertoire, she is not a "cool jazz," pop, or easy listening song stylist. Pagès traces her influences to three of the greats: Billie Holiday, for her emotional connection to her material and rhythmic flair; Frank Sinatra, for his hard swing and clean delivery; and Sarah Vaughn for her virtuosity, innovative takes on tunes, and willingness to push the envelope.
Though well-versed in the classics, Pagès's sound is all her own. Her unique gifts lie in the range of her voice and material, the freedom of her rhythmic play, the variety of timbres her voice displays, and the emotional intensity of her expression and strong connection she makes with audiences.
What also sets Pagès apart is her creative interplay at all levels - rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic - with the top-shelf musicians she plays with.
