In this episode, I share my personal story of how I discovered my love for Jazz and ventured into the world of jazz singing and how it has profoundly impacted my life.

While my journey has been anything but linear, there were signs along the way that hinted at my affinity for this genre.

It changed my life and can also change yours – if it hasn’t already!

The seed was planted at seven when my dad bought me a cassette tape of Nina Simone – the music did something visceral for me.

I also talk about how Miles Davis – in particular – his Workin’ album got me through homesickness when I lived in London.

I didn’t mention that my love for Theolonius Monk and my fraudulent piano playing ability in rock bands prompted me to get jazz lessons from Gabriel Latchin – a young, earnest jazz student at the Guildhall who is now Internationally renowned.

Gabriel encouraged me to sing jazz, leading me to audition for Australia’s best jazz tertiary program here in Brisbane, Jazz Music Institute, at the age of 27.

I made this episode deliberately short – a new thing I’m trialling for solo episodes.

Also, the next Private Podcast Live episode in the Fearless Singers Facebook group will be live on Thursday at 7:30 pm!

I will discuss key signatures in music and how we work out our best keys, like a well-cut outfit.

Come on over!

By the way, in this episode I mentioned a listening suggestion playlist – I made one for you on Spotify.

Rue du Jazz c'est une heure de soul, de jazz et de potins de stars ! Une seule star ce soir la musique! Je vous propose ma playlist de Noël, pleine de soleil au cœur de l'hiver ! Et une visite surprise... à New York!

Listen. We're not perfect. Well, Andrew is. But this week Dan proves himself to be a real dumbass. We begin by discussing "I'm Making Believe" by the Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald from 1944. And then we discover some reeeeallly interesting information. Let's just say...things get absolutely...fucked up.

Neste novo episódio do podcast, André Góis conta como a cantora de jazz Ella Fitzgerald e a atriz Marilyn Monroe se aproximaram e se tornaram grandes amigas.

O podcast do 'A Hora da Vitrola' é derivado do programa de mesmo nome, que vai ao ar na Rádio Eldorado (FM 107,3 - SP) aos domingos, ao meio dia, com reapresentação às quintas, às 23h.

Maggie Speaks With Drummer, Producer Gregg Field About Ella At The Hollywood Bowl: The Irving Berlin Songbook - Eight-time Grammy and 2018 Emmy winner (including Latin Grammy “Producer of the Year”) Gregg Field is one of the most musically diverse and highly sought-after producers, musicians and educators in music.

World class musicians and singers — a veritable who’s who of music, including Michael Buble, Placido Domingo, Pharrell Williams, Josh Groban, Garth Brooks, Alejandro Sanz, Stevie Wonder, Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra and Quincy Jones — are among his many musical collaborators.

Starting at age 19, Field toured with, among others, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, and he can be heard on Sinatra’s historic, multi-platinum Duets and Duets II recordings.

Ella Fitzgerald's "Songbook" records - with her peerless renditions of the best songs from iconic composers from Irving Berlin to Rogers & Hart to Cole Porter to George & Ira Gershwin - are the cornerstone of the Verve catalog and the standard for jazz vocal recordings. Ella never released a live version of these Songbooks. This record, discovered in the private collection of Norman Granz, will make the first time a live Songbook has been released from the First Lady of Song.
