Search - Cristina Zavalloni :: When You Go Yes Is Yes!

Cristina Zavalloni is famed Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's favorite vocalist, and listening to this disc, it's not hard to see why. 'When You Go Yes Is Yes!' offers further confirmation not only of her outstanding vocal talents, but also of the staggering maturity of a performer who is almost unique in her ability to balance grace with stinging irony.

Upon its initial release, this album won honors from Musica Jazz (Italy) and Jazz Magazine (France).

Zapping from jazz to pop to songwriter classics to contemporary composition, cabaret and folk, Cristina Zavalloni confirms herself as an artist whose desire to continually cross new borders knows no limits, and whose omnivorous musical curiosity, far from being mere showing off, leads her to observe and intelligently sample everything around her. In this concert recording, Cristina racks up an array of remarkable performances, ably supported by the informal, asymmetric jazz of her sidemen.

This CD will greatly interest jazz listeners who are open to the sounds of contemporary and improvised music of singers such as Lauren Newton, Jay Clayton and Dagmar Krause.
