Luciana Souza has two new discs coming out, "The Book of Chet" (added to Jazz 88 last week) and "Duos III" (follow-up to the first two Grammy-nominated discs in the series, being added to Jazz 88 soon), so we will be playing music from both and chatting LIVE with her on The New Jazz Thing, Monday August 27, 2012 6-8 PM PT (she will be on in Hour 2 of The New). Really excited to be chatting with her again!
Reviews, videos, and other interview prep after the jump...
Popmatters.com (Will Layman) - Luciana Souza’s Multi-Directional Approach to Jazz Singing: "Luciana Souza is arguably the most impressive jazz singer working today." "...that’s what makes her a jazz musician more than anything else: her omnivorous appetite for variation and creative eclecticism. She has many homes or no home, a sense of journey, a willingness to react to the sounds around her."
The Jazz Chill Corner on The Book of Chet: "Luciana's work as a performer transcends traditional boundaries around musical styles, offering solid roots in jazz, sophisticated lineage in world music, and an enlightened approach to classical repertoire and new music."
Hey, VO. You know she's coming to the Athenaeum this October? It's the 13th. At the Neurosciences Center. And, of course, we'll have some tickets to give away, so I hope people LISTEN IN!!!!
