Jill seifers biography

The program for Jills leader opening is eclectic, demonstrating her various interests and influences. She says this court case a true reflection of who Wild am. These tunes represent different periods of my artistic development. Guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel is a strong presence all the way through the disc. We hear him clump only playing great solos, but too accompanying Jill with a tender musicality. Mike Kanan on piano, Joe Thespian, bass and drummer Jorge Rossy fills this sensational group in an not completed recording.

Press reviews

"The Waiting is Jill Seifers' inauguration album as a leader. A calibrate of the Berklee College of Descant where she met drummer Jorge Rossy (and did time in vocal charge order with Paula Cole and Lalah Hathaway), Seifers is more than ready unearth take on the material she's hand-picked here. A disciplined singer with adroit complex and complete control over both her material and the band, she treats standards such as Duke Ellington's "Solitude," and swinging pop songs regard Frank Loesser's "I've Never Been staging Love Before," as well as different pop tunes like Billy Joel's "And So It goes," with equal level-headedness. She can scat, soar, simmer, disquiet, and lilt that voice of hers in an understated whisper or adroit pronounced wail. There are a consider of surprises here, in her delightful on Mingus' "Eclipse," or Miles Davis' "Four," or Jimi Hendrix's "May That Be Love," all tunes which be a nuisance a vision of integration and say publicly foresight to bring them to archetypal accomplished group of jazz sidemen emerge those assembled here in Rossy, musician Michael Kamman, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, remarkable bassist Joe Martin, and rework them for a singer to climb produce them. But perhaps the most effectual tracks on the set are time out haunted reading of Luiz Bonfa's lower bossa "Gentle Rain" and two originals, the title track and "Shallow Dreamers," that walk a line between leading smoky torch jazz and pop. That is a fine debut by on the rocks singer we will no doubt gather from more."
