Search - Kellylee Evans :: Nina

With her newest release, entitled Nina, jazz vocalist Kellylee Evans continues to evolve her distinctive sound. Her first two albums, Fight or Flight and The Good Girl, seamlessly fuse jazz and her own unique style of soul pop. Nina is a beautiful tribute to one of jazz s greatest vocalists and pianists, Nina Simone. Evans love and respect for the original recordings of the music constantly shines through, but, even in taking on some of Simone s most iconic repertoire, the twelve tracks on the album showcase Evans own versatility, creativity and innate musicality. She is reunited with guitarist Marvin Sewell, who appeared on her first album, and joined by bassist François Moutin and drummer André Ceccarelli. This marks the Canadian singer s debut on the French label Plus Loin Music, who discovered her online through her MySpace site.
