MIKE SINAGRA

 Mike Sinagra on vocals and trumpet, Manuel Fraga on piano and vocals, Pablo Motta on double bass and Oscar Giunta on drums pay tribute to the Rat Pack, recreating the eternal classics and the wide repertoire of Frank Sinatra and his hit songs by other great singers such as Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Charles Aznavour, Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Carlos Gardel.

About Frank: His repertoire was based on the work of the most important American popular composers, such as Jimmy Van Heusen, Cole Porter, Sammy Cahn and George Gershwin, and his style synthesized, already in its origins, fifteen years of mutual influences between jazz-inspired music and the pop music that was beginning to spread through the radio. Sinatra built his style on the basis of a natural understanding of popular music, as understood by Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong, exploiting the idea in all its aspects.

Cover: $13,000 ARS ($12.22) ~ $15,000 ARS ($14.10)

KAT EDMONSON

Kat Edmonson is a Songwriters Hall of Fame award-winning songwriter and singer. She has been featured on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Tonight Show and has released six studio albums to date. Raised on the music and film of the early-to-mid-twentieth century, Kat performs original songs and familiar classics in her live show interweaving humorous anecdotes and philosophical musings with disarming candor and vulnerability. “Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen.” (NPR)

“Intuitive about melody and handy with a turn of phrase” (The New York Times), the songsmith has been writing ever since she was a little girl. JAZZIZ magazine says, “…her lasting contribution might very well be her songs.” NPR says, “she’s a savvy student of ’60s film soundtracks, jazz-pop stylists and Brill Building songcraft, nodding to her influences at every turn. But her take on those stylized musical languages is so fresh and fluent that the referencing never feels cumbersome.” Her original songs have been featured in major motion pictures, television shows and commercials including her song “Lucky” which was featured in the Coca-Cola “Footprints” ad from the Winter Olympics.

From Carnegie Hall to the Montreux Jazz Festival to the Blue Note in Japan, Kat has played major stages across the United States, Europe, and Asia. In addition to her own headline tours, she has performed in support of Lyle Lovett, Gary Clark, Jr., Smokey Robinson, and Willie Nelson to name a few. Kat appeared in Woody Allen’s Cafe Society as a 1930s jazz singer and was highlighted on the official soundtrack performing her version of “Mountain Greenery.” In the winter of 2022, the singer made her theatrical debut in the four-time, Drama-Desk-Award-nominated off-Broadway show, “The Hang” by Taylor Mac and Matt Ray.

CYRILLE AIMÉE QUARTET

Cyrille Aimée grew up in a multilingual household full of music where dancing was an everyday activity, soundtracked by the Afro-Caribbean sounds of her mother’s native Dominican Republic. The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival, and the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bedroom window at night to mingle with the players, igniting a passion for jazz.

Moving to New York City, her talents quickly gained her a reputation among her peers as a matchless interpreter of song. She performed and recorded with Roy Hargrove and stole the show in front of the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at the Harlem Apollo. Steven Sondheim invited her to star in a tribute at New York’s City Centre, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheim’s songs which received praise from Sondheim himself, and her version of “Marry Me a Little”, was nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award.

At the height of her New York success, new horizons beckoned. Visiting New Orleans, she fell in love with the energy and diversity of the city and made it her home. Linking back to New York to connect up all the dots, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman, and together they have created her latest album, A Fleur de Peau. to be released on a new label, the London-based imprint Whirlwind Recordings.

Combining the depth and sophistication of jazz, the immediacy of pop, the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean, it’s more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.
