An Evening With Rachelle Ferrell

To quote the Viper Alley website:

” Composer, lyricist, arranger, musician, and vocalist Rachelle Ferrell is a recent arrival on the contemporary jazz scene, but her visibility on the pop/urban contemporary scene has boosted her audience’s interest in her jazz recordings.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ferrell got started singing in the second grade at age six. This no doubt contributed to the eventual development of her startling six-and-change octave range. She decided early on, after classical training on violin, that she wanted to try to make her mark musically as an instrumentalist and songwriter. In her mid-teens, her father bought her a piano with the provision that she’d learn to play to a professional level. Within six months, Ferrell had secured her first professional gig as a pianist/singer. She began performing at 13 as a violinist, and in her mid-teens as a pianist and vocalist. At 18, she enrolled in the Berklee College of Music in Boston to study composition and arranging, where her classmates included Branford Marsalis, Kevin Eubanks, Donald Harrison, and Jeff Watts. She graduated in a year and taught music for a while with Dizzy Gillespie for the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Through the ’80s and into the early ’90s, she worked with some of the top names in jazz, including Gillespie, Quincy Jones, George Benson, and George Duke.

Ferrell’s debut, “First Instrument,” was released in 1990 in Japan only. Recorded with bassist Tyrone Brown, pianist Eddie Green, and drummer Doug Nally, an all-star cast of accompanists also left their mark on her record. They include trumpeter Terrence Blanchard, pianists Gil Goldstein and Michel Petrucciani, bassists Kenny Davis and Stanley Clarke, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and keyboardist Pete Levin. Her unique take on now-standards like Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me,” Cole Porter’s “What Is This Thing Called Love,” and Rodgers & Hart’s “My Funny Valentine,” captured the hearts and souls of the Japanese jazz-buying public.

In 1995, Blue Note/Capitol released her Japanese debut for U.S. audiences, and the response was similarly positive. Her 1992 self-titled U.S. debut, a more urban pop/contemporary album, was released on Capitol Records. Ferrell was signed to a unique two-label contract, recording pop and urban contemporary for Capitol Records and jazz music for Blue Note Records.

For four consecutive years in the early ’90s, Ferrell put in festival-stopping performances at the Montreaux Jazz Festival. Although Ferrell has captured the jazz public’s attention as a vocalist, she continues to compose and write songs on piano and violin. Ferrell’s work ethic has paid off, and Gillespie’s predictions about her becoming a “major force” in the jazz industry came true.

Her prolific songwriting abilities and ability to accompany herself on piano seem only to further her natural talent as a vocalist. “Some people sing songs like they wear clothing, they put it on and take it off,” she explains in the biographical notes accompanying First Instrument. “But when one performs four sets a night, six nights a week, that experience affords you the opportunity to present the song from the inside out, to express its essence. In this way, a singer expresses the song in the spirit in which it was written. The songwriter translates emotion into words. The singer’s job is to translate the words back into emotion.” Ferrell has made her mark not as a straight-ahead jazz singer and pianist, but as a crossover artist who is equally at home with urban contemporary pop, gospel, classical music, and jazz. “

According to her MySpace page:   "Audiences first took notice of Kirsten Gustafson (pronounced “Kir-sten Gus-tuff-son”) with the release of her critically acclaimed CD You Taught My Heart To Sing in 1992. After years of vocal work with an assortment of musical configurations – everything from rock bands to jazz trios – the Atlantic recording put her on the map literally overnight. The late, great Sammy Cahn was so impressed with her singing that he enthusiastically agreed to write the liner notes for her disc. “Miss Gustafson will be among the greats,” he wrote, “you heard it first from me!”

In the years since her stunning debut, Kirsten has concentrated on live performance. In 1994 she joined the latin-influenced Samba Bamba! as their lead singer. The band debuted a 16-month run at Vinyl a popular Chicago nightclub at the time. The wild popularity of Samba Bamba! led to concerts in New York and Los Angeles, as well as a slew of private parties and corporate events.

Along the way, Miss Gustafson had kept her love for jazz music going and in late 1996 returned to her native Northern Michigan for a brief respite before venturing off to Paris for a season spent working the after-hours clubs along the Left Bank..

Kirsten returned to Chicago in late 1998 to continue a burgeoning voice over career and slowly began recording new material and making occasional club appearances before relocating to her home in Marquette, Michigan. In 2007 she toured with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra starring in a tribute show to Ella Fitzgerald. Her recording Live At Montreaux was released in 2002 and Wait Until Dark, her eagerly anticipated new studio recording will be released in 2008.

Gustafson, described as a “singer’s singer” has a deceptively simple approach to music: “I find the essence of the song and share it with the audience.” Audiences from the famed Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, to the Parisian club scene, as well as a host of venues across America, have heartily agreed.

Finally, (and my favorite), " she sounds like mercury poured over velvet AND satin "    . . . imagine THAT! Better yet, hear her LIVE at

"I worked with Laury with Michel Legrand – and you don’t work with him unless you can produce! – listening to her new CD I am reminded about those halcyon days. Like a fine wine Laury is better than ever!"
