| Kat Jiménez at the French 75  Kat Jiménez has been given a residency at the very swanky French 75 Bistro in Burbank through March and April. Each Saturday Kat performs an amazing set of standards, including favorites from Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and the rest of the pack. She is accompanied by Stephen Donovan on piano and Randal Yamamoto on bass, two amazing musicians who complement Jimenez's sultry vocals. We all know Kat Jiménez from her latest reggae album, 'Nothin' but Love.' However, jazz music has always been a source of inspiration and discipline for this performing artist."Jazz music has always been an instrumental part of my journey with music. I began to write music only after I learned how to scat. Music theory meant nothing to me until I joined my high school's jazz choir. Jazz just makes sense and it feels good to sing it and to hear it…that's why it's timeless, " said Kat Jiménez. In addition to Kat Jiménez on Saturday nights, Miles Mosley revitalizes the origins of jazz by returning to the spirit of the 20's and 30's on Friday nights. Robert Tom swings by with his cool vocals along with his young and talented trio on occasion as well. Kat Jimenez has carved a new niche in music in a unique fashion, creating a mixture of Pop and Reggae, with a hint of Latin and Soul. Her lyrics are heartfelt and insightful. Her album, Nothin' But Love is now available at online stores, including Tower Records, Amazon, CDBaby, Napster, Sony Connect, Yahoo Music, and Rhapsody. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
