"In the tradition of all great vocalists, Clairdee infuses each song with her own unique style while always remaining true to the song itself."
--- NANCY WILSON
"A force to be reckoned with."
--- WBGO
Clairdee is a truly spontaenous entertainer from the school of CARMEN MC RAE and BETTY CARTER. A spellbinding storyteller, Clairdee's passion for lyrics reveals the influences of NANCY WILSON, DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER and DIANNE REEVES. Take a listen to her spirited homage to Count Basie and Joe Williams on 'Alright, OK, You Win" where she infuses the standard with Les McCann/Eddie Harris groove that defies one to sit still. "Music Moves" was recorded by Clairdee and her quartet live at Yoshi''s and bears a strong resemblance to Carmen Mc Rae's classic LP "The Great American Songbook." |
