BLUE TUESDAYS:AMANDA BAISINGER Appears Tonight At Cornelia Street Cafe 10/19
Tonight At Cornelia Street Cafe Tue Oct 19th 8:30PM BLUE TUESDAYS:AMANDA BAISINGER (Amanda Baisinger, vocals; John Shannon, guitar; Pete Rende, piano, accordion; Garth Stevenson, bass; Dan Mintzer, drums)
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Amanda Baisinger will perform some of her most recent original material Tuesday, October 19 at Cornelia Street Cafe. Baisinger's jazz sound combined with soulful lyrics will shape her latest collection of songs, which are scheduled for an upcoming CD release, following up on the success of her "Short Songs" album.
"Short Songs" was acclaimed for Baisinger's poetic expressions of personal experience, her mellow combination of jazz and pop that created a warm and romantic atmosphere. Her influences range from Milton Nacimento to Billie Holiday but her singing style and story-telling are most reminiscent of Joni Mitchell.
"With stunningly smoky vocals reminiscent of Paula Cole, the lilt of Joni Mitchell and the lush, jazzy warmth of Norah Jones, Amanda Baisinger enchants her listeners with a combination of elegance, emotion and sophisticated artistry. Her voice slides gently over languid melodies, the resonance filling in all the little pockets of harmony that dance between pop, jazz and folk. Always, there is a beautiful, exquisite haze that fills the air when her music begins. Whether it's a soundtrack to an evening of candle light or thoughtful driving music you're after, "Short Songs" is one of the most quietly striking albums of its sort to grace our warehouse in ages."
