| Charmaine Clamor's "Flippin' out" Early media response to Filipina singing sensation Charmaine Clamor's groundbreaking new album, “Flippin' Out” (FreeHam 0507; September 1st) has been overwhelmingly positive. Backed by three members of the Tierney Sutton Band -- Christian Jacob (piano), Trey Henry (bass), Ray Brinker (drums) --and a host of all-star Filipino musicians, the sultry-voiced Clamor melds soulful American jazz and blues with traditional Filipino love songs, creating music she calls ”jazzipino.” Writing for Music In America, critic John Book says, “Her music is a perfect bridge of two cultures, done with a passion that can be heard in a voice that should be experienced in every jazz venue across the nation, if not the world. Clamor is an asset to jazz music, and a contributor to the continued traditions of women in jazz.” The official CD Release concerts for “Flippin' Out” are at Catalina Bar & Grill, Los Angeles, on September 1st and Iridium Jazz Club, New York City, on September 12th. Clamor has additional appearances scheduled for Cecil's Jazz Club, West Orange, New Jersey, September 14-15. More tour dates will be announced soon. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
