Virginie Teychené comes from the south of France but learned English with her father, who used to show American Marines the French way of life. "French doesn't lend itself to jazz," she says. "Words can often fall flat, as it is hard to sing in French on rhythm." Teychené, who was named a "new revelation" at France's Juan-les-Pins jazz festival last year, covers songs like "Take the A Train" in her pure, low voice.
