Daisy Chute's album 'Simply Jazz'

[richnorri]

Hello everybody!

Thanks to Chantelle on Crystal and Natasha's forum, I have found a link where you can listen to clips of Daisy's solo album 'Simply Jazz'. It was released last year, and it is well worth a listen.

Enjoy! ;D

Wow-- somebody actually paid attention to my excited rambling on the C&N forum... and gave Daisy a plug! I'm pleased! =D

I am kindof sad, though, that her official site got pulled down. Ah, well. C'est la vie, I suppose...

I requested a copy from Daisy for my radio station (www.wmpg.org) Sunday. Her US folks got it to us super fast!!! I played "You Go to My Head" tonight. My co-host and our listeners really loved it!!!

Well done Bob! :applaud:

One good turn deserves another, so I made the link to your radio station clickable in your post! ;D

Best Wishes from London,

Richard :jester:

Hi Bob, very interesting and well done Daisy! Bob too, clearly, your listeners agree with your wise choice of music!

The real challenge for you will come when the All Angels album is released... your mission is to try and work one of those tracks into your Jazz shows! :jester:

Cheers, Dave

DAISY CHUTE
Jazz vocalist

DEBUT CD
SIMPLY JAZZ

With the David Patrick Trio

"Daisy, like Barbra Streisand, has a fully developed vocal talent at a young age.

This girl has the gift of communication."

- Mark Murphy

DAISY CHUTE has made her debut jazz CD "Simply Jazz" urged to do so by the legendary Mark Murphy during a Master Class by Mister Hep Cat himself. When Mark heard fifteen year old Daisy sing, he told the fellow jazz singers that "Daisy, like Barbra Streisand, has a fully developed Vocal talent at a young age. This girl has the gift of communication".

Daisy is an experienced performer and has appeared in many productions. Notably:

· Young Cosette: Les Miserables UK Tour 1998

· Matthew Kelly's Stars in their Eyes Kids 2002 as The Young Judy Garland - Granada Television

· BBC performances incl. Newsround reporter Pop Poll Awards, radio plays, television series and Children in Need recording with Martine McCutcheon

· Vocalist - National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland 2003

· Ladies of Jazz Concert Edinburgh Jazz Festival 2004

· Jazz Cabarets Edinburgh Fringe Festivals 2004, 2005

· Burnsong songwriting competition winner 2005

Recent appearances:

Royal Albert Hall fronting Loretto Ensemble School Proms
November 7th 2005

Burnsong Live The Big Gig! at Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries
St. Andrews Night November 30th 2005

It would appear that her CD, 'Simply Jazz' may have been re-released at some stage:

Continued from the same source:

Although still a teen, Daisy is no stranger to the stage, having landed the part of “Young Cosette” in the touring production of Les Miserables. At nine years old, Daisy had received her first professional paycheck courtesy of Cameron MacIntosh, the eminent theatre impresario. Several years training as a Cathedral Chorister followed. The BBC made good use of Daisy’s singing and acting skills in many ways from radio plays, television series’, as a Newsround reporter covering the Smash Hits Pop Poll Awards, and for Children in Need, recording a hit single with Martine McCutcheon. Daisy was awarded a BBC Fame Academy bursary to purchase a guitar, which Jon Lee presented to her on the Palace Theatre stage after his performance as Marius in Les Miserables.

Matthew Kelly’s Stars in their Eyes Kids, Granada Television, showcased Daisy to an audience of six million viewers, singing as the young Judy Garland with “You Made Me Love You”. Ray Monk, Musical Director, remarked during rehearsals on “Daisy’s distinctive voice”.

The Edinburgh Festival of Jazz and Blues provided an education in itself with Daisy hearing and meeting such greats as Sheila Jordan, Carol Kidd, Barbara Morrison, Claire Martin, Stacey Kent, Rebecca Kilgore and Clare Teal.

Daisy toured with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland as their first ever vocalist in 2003. Kenny Mathieson, music critic, wrote in the press after her performance at The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama “She did enough to suggest that she will make her marks in years to come”.

Daisy featured in The Ladies of Jazz Concert during the Edinburgh Jazz Festival in 2004 backed by the Tom Finlay trio. Following the jazz festival she was asked to take part in Todd Gordon’s Sophisticated Ladies Jazz Cabaret during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival supported by a trio with the unstoppable David Patrick on piano, Adam Sorenson, a superb drummer from New York, and Andy Sharkey, an energetic bass player from Glasgow. She was thrilled when Alan Barnes sat in on one session with his soprano saxophone. This run allowed Daisy to gain the confidence to record the numbers she performed with additional encouragement from Los Angeles based diva Barbara Morrison in the audience who told Daisy to “Do it NOW!!!”

Daisy is at a Specialist Music School in the London area and is doing her A levels while furthering her training in voice, guitar, piano, and composition.

Thanks for posting the article, Roger!

Now I can't wait for HMV next week! ;D

See you both there, together with Charlotte, Laura and Melanie, of course.

Best Wishes,

Hi Roger. How did you load those photos into the message area of your posting?

Iv got a couple to load and I'm endeavoring to establish the best method. So far a Photobucket link is the option, but I prefer the picture to be visible like yours without the need for a link.
Thanks.

Hi Jon,

If your photographs are already being hosted in photobucket, you have done the hard part!

To post the picture, copy its url from photobucket and past it in your reply. Then place the "image" tags either side of it so that it looks like this:

[center][img src="url_of_image_in_photobucket"][/center]

In the above example, the "center" tags are optional. I always type the tags but if you click on the icon immediately below the S (above the smilie faces), it will create them for you. Then you paste the url in between.

The absolute maximum width of any picture without causing distortion is 800 pixels but, if that should be a problem, one of the moderators can make the necessary adjustment.


Have a go and see how it looks in "preview". And good luck!

Roger

That won't be a problem as I'm the station's Jazz Director. In the words of Mel Brooks, "It's good to be the king!"

That chart was also submitted to CMJ, the non-commercial radio station's version of Billboard. Daisy's US people will be able to use that chart information as a selling point when promoting her CD to record stores and other radio stations.
