Event

Nanette Natal and Company

A HOWL ! ARTS PROJECT 2009 presentation.
Nanette Natals music has always defied categories. One of the most interesting and exciting singers working in jazz today, she is a consummate artist in the grand tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and has delivered her socially conscious rhythmic blues/ rock message alongside Mahalia Jackson and Odetta. Rooted in jazz, blues, gospel, and New Orleans style, her latest CD "I Must Be Dreaming," is a 2008 Village Voice Jazz Consumer Guide listing. She has garnered consistent raves throughout the U.S. and Europe including: "Ms. Natal bends and twists her notes in unexpected fashions, makes startling leaps around the scales, and has the daring to expand and extend what might be a satisfactory note to open up a fresh and revealing color ( NY Times) and "...she's a hell of a singer...(her) intense 'You Go to My Head' ends up somewhere close to Coltrane's 'Equinox.' This is jazz singing at its highest level." (Cadence).
