• Description : Here are some clips from Camilla's ...(more)CD "Swing 'n' Sassy." Camillas seductive voice combined with her bewitching performance style is irresistibly enchanting. Her hard-swinging interpretations, mixed with her pure sultry jazz sound are reminiscent of the torch singers of the 40s and 50s. Her contagious spirit attracts both the avid jazz aficionado and the younger, hipper audiences that will help transport this classic style of jazz into the 21st century. SwingnSassy, Camillas debut release, is a marvelous blend of classic songs that are performed with soul and passion. When I choose a song to sing, it has to evoke in me a reaction. It can be an emotional reaction based on anything from a lyric, to the way the melody makes me feel. With regard to song selection, she describes the process this way, For me, the real acid test of the songs came from musicians. If a musician did not know a song very well, we considered that a coup! They play songs over and over again to the point where they tire of them. There is a joke that asks how many female singers does it take to sing My Funny Valentine? Apparently all of them! I was looking for great old songs, that had wonderful hum able melodies, but that would not be on every album in the jazz section at the record store. I wanted to bring some of the great old songs, as my grandmother would have said, out of the mothballs.
