Vocalists have played an integral part in the development of many jazz instrumentalists sound. In an effort to better connect with audiences, musicians have adapted techniques involving phrasing, timbre, and inflection to emulate the sounds of the human voice. Saxophonist and flautist Jane Bunnett was drawn early to vocals and uses them as the bedrock of her new recording Embracing Voices. Another of Bunnett s passions is Afro Cuban music, a genre that she has been fortunate to experience in her work with the master musicians of Cuba. Embracing Voices features a fantastic Afro Cuban, a cappella vocal choir called Grupo Vocal Desandann. The Afro Cuban and Haitian rooted singers are used prominently on all the compositions, which are a mixture of original songs, traditional Cuban songs, and jazz standards that were arranged by Bunnett. The group benefits from the addition of vocalist/lyricist Kellylee Evans, who takes lead vocals on a number of tracks. The combination of Afro Cuban rhythm, soaring vocals and Bunnett s abilities as performer and composer makes Embracing Voices a captivating and soulful musical experience.
Features the vocal talents, from the jazz world, Molly Johnson and Kellylee Evans. From the world scene, Cuban rap star Telmary and Grupo Vocal Desandann.
Jane Bunnett
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Oct 22, 1956 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Worldbeat, Latin Jazz, Post-Bop, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Cuban Jazz
One of the finest soprano saxophonists in jazz of the 1990s, Jane Bunnett originally studied classical piano but tendonitis cut short that career. After seeing the Charles Mingus group in San Francisco, Bunnett was inspired to play advanced jazz. On soprano, she recalls Steve Lacy a bit (who she has studied with), while her flute playing is quite distinctive. Bunnett has always had major players on her records: in addition to her husband, trumpeter Larry Cramer, the late pianist Don Pullen had been a fixture on her records; her 1988 debut for Dark Light also featured Dewey Redman; and she utilized Sheila Jordan and Jeanne Lee.
Bunnett has recorded for Dark Light, Music & Arts (a series of duets with Pullen), and Denon. Her most adventurous work is 1991's Spirits of Havana, which matches her playing with many of Cuba's top jazz musicians in Cuba. Jane Bunnett moved to Paris in the mid-'90s. Bunnett continued to record Afro-Cuban jazz throughout the 90's, releasing several critically acclaimed discs for Blue Note records. In 2002, Bunnett took a brief sabbatical from Afro Cuban music and released Spirituals & Dedications, highlighting her interest in both traditional gospel and modern compostions with spiritual themes by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stanely Cowell and Charles Mingus.
