   About Anne Wirz
Anne is immersed in Jazz from her early childhood due to a saxophonist father. She begins singing jazz at 13 under the influence of Ella Fitzgerald recordings. After jazz and classical singing lessons plus jazz piano courses in Paris, she lives for 2 years in London where she continues her singing studies at the Guildhall School. She performs there and records some soul demos with musician and composer Sean Oliver (Rip Rig an Panic ) before he dies.

Back in France , Anne starts writing her own songs and poetry . She performs and collaborates with Claude Barthélémy and Jef gilson with whom she records a so far unreleased album.

Osunlade asks her to compose and sing a poem on his album compilation Ibara River Crossing (Soul Jazz records) . she also performs and records with Philly jazz saxophonist Byard Lancaster (A Heavenly Sweetness).

Besides her musical path, Anne is working as a picture editor in French press and has given birth to two children.

She finally records her first album Infini while pregnant of her second child, Noémie. The cd is released in april 2007 in Japan on the P-Vine label then in France and in the rest of the world on the French label Heavenly Sweetness in november 2007.
She performs the songs of this album in the famous New Morning club and other Parisian venues.

Anne is working now on writing and composing her second album .



Anne est familiarisée au jazz dès son enfance grâce à son père saxophoniste. A 13 ans , elle s’initie au chant jazz sous l’influence des disques d’Ella Fitzgerald . Ensuite après des études de chant et piano jazz (au CIM) et de chant lyrique à Paris , Anne part vivre 2 ans à Londres où elle suit des cours de chant jazz à la Guildhall School of London. Elle s’y produit aussi et enregistre une maquette soul avec le musicien Sean Oliver ( Rip Rig And Panic ) avant que celui-ci ne meure prématurément.

De retour en France , Anne se lance dans l’écriture et le chant de ses propres textes poétiques. Elle collabore alors et se produit avec divers musiciens dont Claude Barthélémy et Jef Gilson avec lequel elle enregistre un album inédit.
Osunlade lui commande un poème chanté ( compilation Ibara River Crossing sur Soul Jazz records) puis elle participe à un album ( A Heavenly Sweetness) et à des concerts du saxophoniste Byard Lancaster.

Parallèlement à sa voie musicale, Anne travaille en tant qu’iconographe dans la presse et devient mère de deux enfants.

Elle enregistre enfin son premier album Infini alors qu’elle est enceinte de sa fille Noémie. Ce disque sort au Japon en avril 2007 sur le label P- Vine et en novembre 2007 sur le label parisien Heavenly Sweetness (distribution Differ- Ant). A la sortie d’Infini , Anne se produit avec ses musiciens à Paris au New Morning puis dans d’autres clubs de la capitale.

Anne travaille à présent sur l’écriture et la composition de son deuxième album.

An incredibly beautiful little record -- one recorded recently in France, but done with the same spiritual undercurrents of 70s independent jazz vocal work from the US! Anne Wirz sings in both English and French, and she's drawing here on some great inspirations -- material from Sathima Bea Benjamin, Mark Murphy, Michel Legrand, and Carlos Garnett -- as well as some of her own great compositions too! Backing is by a small combo that includes the mighty John Betsch on drums, plus piano, Fender Rhodes, bass, and a bit of harp -- all recorded with a nice sense of warmth and soul, in the manner of other recent contemporary classics on the Heavenly Sweetness label. Titles include "When You Came", "Maiden Voyage", "Amour Amour", "Music", "Mother Of The Future", "Guerriere", "Cerebralement Incorrect", and "L'Univers S'Innocente".

Attention Pop Fans of FRANCE!

France’s own online music retailer, Hands and Arms, has made it easier to purchase my latest pop cd, A Song for Me, A Song for You.

« A song for you a song for me » réussit le mariage audacieux de la pop et de la bossa ; un assortiment sucré agrémenté d’une pointe de rock ; le tout assaisonné de jazz entrainant. Derrière la voix feutrée de Scott et ses arrangements soignés, ces 14 pistes mêlant humour et rêverie nous transportent dans les années 60’s. En fermant les yeux, on s’imagine dans un bac à sable faisant des châteaux aux cotés de Brian Wilson, Harry Nilsson ou Mick Brown (The Left Banke).(excerpt from a review in My Gmusique)

Other reviews:

Jean-Emmanuel Dubois in Standard Magazine

Pascal in Foutraque.com

Thanks for reading and listening!

Yo Anne Wirzasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
