Remember the sultry voice that came on the late San Francisco radio station KJAZ every fifteen minutes or so saying, "Ooo, KJAZ"? That voice belongs to song stylist Denise Perrier, an actress, cabaret singer, and one of the premier Jazz vocalists in the Bay Area, and you can still hear it at the better clubs, restaurants, cabarets, and festivals around town.
Artistic integrity is the aspect of the sincerity you hear in Denise's singing. She does very little scat singing, if any. That kind of exhibitionism ("Look what I can do.") is foreign to her style. Denise wants you to feel the emotions a song can arouse. To do that at a live gig, she will open herself to her audience and invite them to participate in the ambience she's creating. She wants you to feel good about the one you're with, not marvel at her vocal prowess.
The lady is a class act.
by Nina J. Hodgson and Robert Tate
MORE COMMENTS
"Perrier delivers a classic jazz vocal styled date, driven by stellar performances on classic tunes, that was right at home in the clubs before it got co-opted by Vegas lounges and turned into the substance of SNL parodies. ...A winning date throughout that genre fans had better not miss out on."---Chris Spector, Midwest Records, Feb 2009
"Denise Perrier is a singer of considerable gifts and she is effective in this live performance from a San Francisco club called Pearl’s. ... Tenorman Houston Person adds some spark to Perrier’s excellent trio."
-- Fresh Tracks, George Fendle, JazzScene,, Feb. ’09
"Denise Perrier has carefully chosen nine terrific songs. ... Thanks to tenor saxophonist Houston Person (has he ever played a wrong note?) adding all the right musical elements."
-- Dan Singer, Singer’s Singers, InTune, March, 2009
