A singer in Paris: I sing jazz and cabaret. I work with my own quartet and I have two albums, one dedicated to the songs of the amazing composer Kurt Weill, and the other is alt-jazz arrangements of songs from bands like the Talking Heads or the Velvet Underground or Joni Mitchell. I've lived and made music in Paris for over ten years.

Jazz is....

"Jazz is about peeling away the layers of artifice to get at what is. Jazz looks at a situation and says, "This is", it might be ugly, it might be shameful, it might be beautiful, it might be revelatory, but all those things are true...."
Ken Burns, director of the documentary - 'Jazz'

jazz is...

wind, malarkey, malarky, idle words, jazz, nothingness (empty rhetoric or insincere or exaggerated talk) "that's a lot of wind"; "don't give me any of that jazz"

jazz is...

"more interesting than bowling because -- bowling is all about one number: the final score. Not enough dimensions to be fascinated by.

Jazz is practiced over a thousand or perhaps a million dimensions. It's non-linear and non-predictable, and most of all, it's never perfect.

And yet...when we get to work, most of us choose to bowl"

JAZZ IS...

music originating in New Orleans around the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently developing through various increasingly complex styles, generally marked by intricate, propulsive rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, improvisatory, virtuosic solos, melodic freedom, and a harmonic idiom ranging from simple diatonicism through chromaticism to atonality.
