A bass player friend of mine, Jamie Ousley had emailed me to ask if I'd be interested in reviewing the 'new girl singer on the block,' Ecuadorian jazz songstress Valeria Proanao. I told him to send it along. When it arrived, there was a little paste-on note on the disc from Valeria to me stating... ''I hope you'll enjoy it.'' I had no idea what compelling and animated musical joy I had in store for me. Here's a girl who has it all... A cogent vocal delivery, great phrasing, a solid albeit beautiful ''personal'' vibrato, and if I might interject as well... a killer artistic instinct.
This is a singer who deals in the mellow, the eloquent, and all the romantic vagaries of song to share with us her listeners. And we are inspired to a higher musical plane as it were as we listen to the creative imagination of this hands down utterly talented and craft-specific chanteuse. Mark my words!! It's onward and upward for one Valeria Proano, transcendant jazz singer for our time.
