DEE DANIELS "INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS"

Whether accompanying her self at the piano, fronting a trio, big band or symphony, Dee Daniels' musical career is as varied as her four-octave vocal range is thrilling. She is a unique talent who transcends musical borders when she brings her jazz styling, infused with gospel and blues flavoring, to the stage. One critic says, "Daniels' voice has a hypnotic quality, delivering an impressive range that gives the romantic songs and verse of 50 years ago new life and raw emotion."Though Dee has a B.A. Degree in Art Education and taught high school art for a year in Seattle, she quickly realized that her true calling was music. Her vocal style was born in her stepfather's church choir in Oakland, California, refined through the R&B era, polished during a five-year stay in The Netherlands and Belgium from 1982 to 1987, and brought to full fruition upon her return to North America. During those years to the present, she has performed and recorded with many 'Legends of Jazz' including Toots Thielemans, Houston Person, Clark Terry, Lionel Hampton, Ed Thigpen, Monty Alexander, John Clayton, and Jeff Hamilton, Hank Jones, Bill Charlap, and Russell Malone – to mention a few.Dee's international career includes performances in twelve African countries, Australia, South America, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, throughout North America, and many countries within Europe. Career highlights include Dee being named Artistic Director, in September 2011, of the Frank DeMiero Jazz Festival - a camp dedicated to Jazz Vocals with around 60 participating schools; a nomination for Atlanta Theater’s 2010 Suzi Bass Award; the 2009 receipt of an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Fine Arts and 2008 President’s Award, both from Capilano University; 2003 recipient of the prestigious Commemorative Medal for the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and induction into the University of Montana’s School of Fine Arts Hall of Honor as well as a 1997 University of Montana Distinguished Alumni Award; a 2002 inductee into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame with a plaque installed on Vancouver's Granville Street Walk of Fame; and a command performance for the King and Queen of Belgium’s 25th Wedding Anniversary. Sharing the stage while singing the blues with the late Sarah Vaughan, and singing gospel and blues with the late Joe Williams remains at the top of her list! DEE DANIELS

DEE DANIELS "STATE OF THE ART"

Lei è un talento unico, che trascende i confini musicali, quando porta il suo jazz styling, infuso con il Vangelo e l' aromatizzante blues sul palco. 'Daniels' ha nella voce una qualità ipnotica, offrendo una gamma impressionante, che dà nelle canzoni romantiche e nei versi di 50 anni fa, ricreandole a nuova vita e cruda emozione. Anche se Dee ha una laurea in educazione artistica e ha insegnato per un anno a Seattle, ha capito subito che la sua vera vocazione era nella musica. Il suo stile vocale nacque nel coro della Chiesa del patrigno a Oakland, in California, perfezionato poi con l'era di RB, lucidato durante un soggiorno di cinque anni in Olanda e Belgio, dal 1982 al 1987, e portato a pieno compimento al suo ritorno in America del Nord. In quegli anni sino ad oggi, lei ha suonato e registrato con molte 'leggende del Jazz', compreso Toots Thielemans, Clark Terry, Lionel Hampton, Ed Thigpen, Monty Alexander, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, Hank Jones, Bill Charlap e Russell Malone, per citare alcuni. La carriera internazionale di Dee comprende esibizioni in dodici paesi dell'Africa, Australia, Sud America, Regno Unito, Hong Kong, Giappone, Nord America e molti paesi dell'Europa. Nella sua carriera Dee è stata nominata direttore artistico, nel settembre 2011, del Frank DeMiero Jazz Festival, dedicato alla voce Jazz, e tante altre nomine. Ha Condiviso il palco, cantando il blues con Sarah Vaughan e Joe Williams. Dee ha molti CD al suo attivo, tra cui l'ultimo "State Of The Art". 12 standard jazz arrangiati in modo univoco, dove la maturità della voce di Dee mette in risalto la profondità della storia in ogni canzone, come se lei fosse coinvolta in una conversazione molto privata con l'ascoltatore.
