  • The New jazz Singers Are Global, NewsWeek

    (...) Listen to VIRGINIE TEYCHENE

    Language has proved no barrier to these women; all sing in English. 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. Born and raised in Turin, the Italian chanteuse Roberta Gambarini recorded Swedish folk songs early in her career but has lately turned to the romantic era of American jazz. Her new record, So in Love, revolves around sweet renditions of tunes like "That Old Black Magic"—a song Sarah Vaughan made famous in the '40s. "The bulk of good songs that allow you to improvise happen to largely be part of the Great American Songbook," she says.

    C'est un melange de trip-hop, soul, pop des annees 60, une sorte de Portishead francais, en quelque sorte.
