A dynamic Tony-nominated -musical revue will stir your soul with the universal language of the blues. Set in 1930s Chicago, we'll get to know three women and their experiences with life, love, and all the pain that comes with it. In the score, you'll be treated to musical and vocal arrangements from Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold.Arlen, and many more.
Nicknamed “the Gypsy-jazz Warbler” by the New York Times and acclaimed as a “millennial shaking up the jazz scene” by magazine Vanity Fair, TATIANA EVA-MARIE is a transatlantic bandleader, singer, and actress based in Brooklyn.
Best known for her work leading the Avalon Jazz Band – a band with a Parisian “vintage” flair that has gathered 80 million views on YouTube – her interests have led her to explore a wide range of musical styles, from 1930s pop to modern jazz. Tatiana Eva-Marie’s singing is always inspired by her own French and Romani heritage; a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s; a passion for Gypsy music and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.
Through the lens of this musical kaleidoscope, she explores the music of Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet, Cole Porter, and other composers who were at the origins of French jazz, while adding her own original lyrics and arrangements to the mix.
In the past two years, Tatiana Eva-Marie has been expanding her touring across the United States and Europe, and building a devoted online following among jazz fans and music lovers worldwide.
