With impressive range and effortless delivery, Valerie injects new life into a collection of standards from the Great American Songbook backed by a stellar line up of some of the finest, most experienced jazz musicians in the world today.
Bio / Background
Dynamic and self assured, Valerie Day has a voice that is evocative of another time, when sweet lyrical music was the norm, and singers were real musicians. Remembered for her work with the 1980's R&B/Dance band NU SHOOZ, Valerie has returned to her musical roots. On her newest recording, Beginning To See The Light, Valerie injects new life into a collection of standards from the Great American Songbook with impressive range and effortless delivery.
From the opening track, a lyrical yet hard-swinging take on "The Song is You, " it's clear that a serious musician is at work. Backed by an impressive Big Band she has dubbed "The Knights of Swing", her voice is an integral part of the ensemble, riffing with the horns and sparring with the rhythm section with clear timbre and flawless intonation.
Throughout the collection, there is no grandstanding in Valerie's approach, no superfluous displays of technique.
