JAM SESSION avec ANGELA GREY

Originally from New York, now based in Paris, Filipino-American jazz singer Angela Grey pays tribute to one of the most emblematic artists of vocal jazz: Nat King Cole. A virtuoso pianist and crooner with a velvety timbre, Cole left his mark on the history of American jazz, moving from intimate clubs to major international stages with rare ease. His refined style, sense of phrasing and discreet charisma have influenced generations of musicians. From her beginnings as leader of the famous Nat King Cole Trio, an innovative formation without drums, to her great orchestral hits such as Unforgettable, Mona Lisa and Smile, her repertoire spans the ages with a fascinating timelessness. A composer who quickly established herself on the European jazz scene thanks to her distinctive soulful timbre and captivating stage presence. Her voice, likened to that of Dinah Washington, combines power and emotion, and Angela offers a unique interpretation of standards from the Great American Songbook and rhythm and blues classics. She performs in various Parisian and European clubs, offering performances that blend jazz, soul and an inimitable personal touch.
