New York, NY (Top40 Charts) I wanted a CD recorded with my own compositions and arrangements, so I'm proud to have been able to produce it all by myself with gorgeous musicians.
Jazz vocalist Lana Gray brings a myriad of cultures to her musical flavors. Having traveled many countries such as Senegal, Vietnam, Italy, Corsica and United Kingdom one can only imagine the blend she possesses in her multicultural coloring of songs. As a uniquely styled chanteuse Gray draws her repertoire from her original compositions as well as, jazz standards, blues, pop and Brazilian popular music.
Having studied at the Bill Evans Piano Academy in Paris, Lana expanded her musical horizons as a vocalist, melodist and poetic songwriter. Lana's inspirational love of music is culturally rich, embodied by her favored literature and past and present life experiences.
Gray currently appears on stage at several well-known venues in Paris such as the Sunset-Sunside, the Marcounet Riverboat, the 38'Riv, the Jazz en Touraine and Jazz à Louviers Festivals. Brilliantly accompanied by pianist
Philippe Baden Powell de Aquino, percussionist
Thomas Delor, and bassist Patrick Laroche collectively deliver a great night of jazz. When the pandemic of the coronavirus is over Lana seeks to perform in Jazz clubs and festivals worldwide.
"The colors of my soul" recording has captured superbly Gray's velvety, delicate and powerful dynamics complimented by her band Amina Mezaache on flute, Roland Seilhes on Saxophone and flute, and Franck Delpeut on trumpet.
"I wanted a CD recorded with my own compositions and arrangements, so I'm proud to have been able to produce it all by myself with gorgeous musicians. I can't help thinking of
Paolo Coelho's quote in the Alchemist, '...And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it,'" says Gray.
Lana channels her listeners through the history of great jazz standards and other influences by immersing herself in a story-telling world of enchantment. Her ability to convey her authenticity translates to the likes of a consummate artist.
