Joni Kean (Jazz)

jonikeen
Established talent in Glasgow’s Jazz scene, Joni Keen first came to light in the Glasgow Jazz Festiva (2000) and since then has been going from strength to strength. Jazz singer from Scotland Joni is one of the leading
and most professional Jazz vocalists in Scotland.

Joni’s new album “Fragile” which includes songs from Gershwin to Tom Waits is out now on Skylark Records.

What makes a good jazz singer? What makes any singer a  good singer or any musician a good musician? It’s not just technique, dynamics, phrasing, range; all of which Joni Keen has in abundance; it’s the ability to drive all the horses at once and to set a course for the heart. That’s what all  great music is about, touching the heart, allowing us to experience the  common-personal emotions: love and longing, joy and sorrow, pain and healing.

I’ve known Joni since she wanted to be a jazz singer, through to now when she is a jazz singer. What a fantastic voyage it’s been!
‘Musicality’ is  hard to define and even harder to acquire, but from the first track of this  little outing in the idiom, that’s the word
that comes to mind. And not least  because of the choice of a group of musical talents that have the range and the  chops to really drive
this well away from the cliches and affectations of the  ‘jazz and jewellery’ stylists.

There’s an emotional maturity about Joni’s  performances here, a kind of sensitivity that can’t be faked, it distinguishes  her as a significant new interpreter not just of the standards but of a repertoire that is thoroughly satisfying in its breadth and originality. Much  more than just a jazz calling card, here is a view from the plateau,
and  what a view!
