Erin Bode's "Holiday"
Erin Bode e-Card
In recent years there has been plenty of speculation about which vocalists will rise up and compete with the incredible success that has visited Norah Jones. A leading candidate is St. Louis vocalist Erin Bode. Bode is similar to Jones in several respects. She is not a pure jazz singer, but she is more closely linked to jazz than any other genre. While she is quite capable with standards, she really shines the most with her original material. And finally and most importantly her music has plenty of heart; something that both jazz fans and pop music fans are eager for.
Bode has just released her second CD for the MaxJazz label, which is also based in St. Louis. Whereas her first CD featured several well known New York musicians and covered time honored standards and pop material, her new CD is undoubtedly a more accurate portrait. It features her hometown band and with the exception of Paul Simon's wonderful "Graceland", it features all original material that she has written along with her pianist Adam Maness. In her younger years Erin Bode was involved in several musical productions and also studied opera for a brief time. Her voice is confident and warm and communicates beautifully. She combines the originality of the best of singer/songwriters with her versatile band who are all obviously first rank jazz musicians. Bode has already achieved considerable success after releasing her first CD playing at several major jazz clubs, the Kennedy Center in Washington, and toured Europe last summer. With an ever better second CD, her career is clearly on the upswing.
Currently on tour to support her new CD "Over and Over", Erin Bode will be backed by her terrific group consisting of Adam Maness on piano and guitar, Syd Rodway on bass, and Chris Higginbottom on drums. These are all the same musicians featured on the new CD. Don't miss the Cleveland debut of the lovely and exciting new vocalist Erin Bode at Nighttown on Wednesday, March 1st.
