1st All That Jazz concert with André Manoukian & China Moses.
China moses is not a jazz singer, nor a blues singer. China Moses is a singer of “torch song”… That is to say songs made to rekindle the flame of impossible loves, a genre whose masters were Frank Sinatra and Jessica Rabbit.
André Manoukian, pianist in love with voices, tastes them, weighs them, gauges them, questions them, titillates them, sniffs them, breathes them, coats them with his delicate piano. They chose the duo formula to give free rein to their “love dialogue” …
tonight’s play list
Torch songs like “Cry me a river”, “My Funny Valentine“and all great jazz standards …
Songwriter, arranger, Jazz pianist, actor and TV host!
