Bangkok--11 Nov--Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
The ‘First Lady of Jazz’ lights up the night during the festive season at The Living Room
Renowned as one of the world’s greatest jazz vocalists, Alice Day returns for a much anticipated residency at The Living Room from December 6, 2011 — January 15, 2012, and for a special performance on New Year’s Eve.
Born into the extraordinary musical tradition of gospel, Alice has committed her life to music. Her professional singing career began while still a teenager growing up in Miami. Drawing inspiration from the greats such as Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday and Mahalia Jackson, Alice created her own distinctive style and is acknowledged as one of the finest jazz vocalist performing today.
Jazz Entrepreneur, Frank Spena once said of her, "Alice Day is a renaissance woman. She has the ability to mesmerize and captivate an audience with her stage presence. Whether singing an intimate ballad, or a raucous, belting blues, there ain't nobody does it better."
Affectionately known as “The First Lady of Jazz”, Alice is in demand at top jazz venues around the world and regularly tours in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, and Austria. Her outstanding contribution to music has been honored and she is the recipient of numerous awards including the coveted ‘Cultural Ambassadors’ Award’, and the ‘Key to the City of Miami’. In 2009 she was also inducted into the ‘South Florida Jazz Hall of Fame’.
To see Alice perform is an enriching experience. It is impossible not to be moved by the depth of feeling she instills into jazz classics — a feat only possible by those who have devoted a life to the genre, and an increasingly rare experience. Her approach to more obscure jazz numbers is playful and exploratory. Seldom is a song ever performed in the same way. Tempo and delivery vary according to inclination, nuances are exploited, and the audience is always delighted.
Alice Day’s sparkling performance will light up the nights over the festive season and make New Year’s Eve celebrations truly magical. During her residency Alice’s vocal artistry will be complimented by the renowned Shawn Kelley Trio and Malaysia’s foremost jazz pianist, David Gomes.
Don't miss jazz diva, Alice Day from December 6, 2011 — January 15, 2012, and for a special performance on New Year’s Eve, only at The Living Room!
