Jean Ramirez: A Night of Songs from the Great American Songbook and the Bossa Nova Songbook
West coast based vocalist, Jean Ramirez, joins New York City musicians David Ambrosio on bass, Leonard Thompson on piano, and Russ Meissner on drums for an evening of celebrating the Great American Songbook and the Bossa Nova Songbook. The quartet will be swinging the timeless and elegant songs crafted by greats such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, George Gershwin, and many more. As a counterpart to the Great American Songbook, well-loved and gorgeous Bossa Novas, which translates to "New Wave" as a lyrical fusion of samba and jazz, by Brazilian composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Baden Powell, and Joao Gilberto will also be presented by the quartet.
Jean Ramirez, a San Francisco based vocalist and songwriter, interprets jazz standards, the Great American Songbook, Bossa Novas, World Music, and beyond. Her music is reflection of her own explorations of different music, cultures, landscapes, ideas, and inspirations. Drawing from an eclectic array of musical muses and heroes from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Patty Waters, Norma Winstone, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bud Powell, Bill Evans, Hank Monk Mobley, Luciana Souza, Fado, to Stevie Wonder, through her voice and collaborations, Jean seeks to explore her own interpretation and musical sensibilities.
