Refreshing talent with huge potential!

I'm a fan of this young lady, since I first heard her rendition of "Airmail Special" heard (We All Love Ella). A very nice video of it: can be admired to this day on the internet (with braces fascinating!). Be the I followed its development, devoured every piece of information that had to get, and waited for their first album. First, then appeared a concert recording (Ella Of Thee I Swing Live), the concert as a music CD and a film on DVD), music not in all respects convincing but nevertheless a wonderful demonstration of their talent and their energy.

And now her studio debut. A piñata with gloss points and not so felicitous, pop songs and jazz and swing in colorful sequence. This mix is ​​a proof that this young artist is still on the way to test their strengths and weaknesses and just tried what sometimes. Should I scold that my "God Bless the Child" does not like so much, because it seems a little hard then? I personally like especially the pieces that can offer easy and lively and where their high musicality is expressed. "Bienvenue dans ma vie" is such a song. Or about "Everything I've got", not included on the CD. Despite this slight restriction: Nikki Yanofsky will develop their style and make their way, as I'm sure. At age 16, this talent and this ambition is still much room for improvement.

And another word on the subject of "shallow" or pop music "angejazzter" Pop: With Vocal jazz to the pure doctrine can hardly nowadays still elicit a dog behind the stove. And anyway, when I look at the currently trendy singers: Is that at all jazz, which makes Melody Gardot? Can Diana Krall scatting? Norah Johnes we do not want to start in this context only. So keep a low profile, Dear Friends of Jazz!
