| YouTube Phenom, Vocalist TATIANA EVA-MARIE's "TWO AT THE MOST," (June 30, 2023, Turtle Bay Records) "Tatiana Eva-Marie has consistently delighted audiences with her buoyant style and effervescent personality, all of which fit firmly into the vintage jazz manouche genre that Django pioneered." - Will Friedwald The Great American Songbook has stood the test of time, and its influence on popular music has been felt around the world. That's what brought the young Swiss-born chanteuse TATIANA EVA-MARIE to New York City, where it all began. Tatiana is now releasing TWO AT THE MOST, a collection of romantic songs from the Great American Songbook presented in an intimate duo setting. TWO AT THE MOST is Tatiana's seventh CD as a leader. She was recently included, alongside Cyrille Aimée and Cécile McLorin-Salvant, in a list of rising jazz stars picked by Vanity Fair, and she was named "one of the best young singers around" by the Wall Street Journal. Nicknamed the Gypsy-jazz Warbler by the New York Times, Tatiana's music is inspired by her French and Balkan heritage, a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s, and a passion for Gypsy music. But she is also fascinated by New Orleans jazz and has a deep connection to the Great American Songbook. Tatiana is joined on TWO AT THE MOST by pianist JEREMY CORREN. A mainstay on the New York City jazz scene, he performs regularly at the Blue Note, Smalls Jazz Club, and the Jazz Gallery. He has also performed at the Newport and Chicago Jazz Festivals, and internationally at the Blue Note clubs in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Beijing, as well at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands and the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy, among other international venues. Tatiana's voice is sweet and warm, the perfect vehicle for this romantic selection of songs. Corren's accompaniment is a tasteful canvas that gives Tatiana the colors and space over which to paint her song stories. On TWO AT THE MOST, Tatiana Eva-Marie and Jeremy Corren create a retro feel that would not be out of place in a 1940s nightclub. They work together regularly, and their empathy and mutual respect is palpable. Tracks 1. The End of a Love Affair 4:57 2. Penthouse Serenade 4:20 3. Fly Me to the Moon 4:17 4.
