A proud tradition of social/political protest music runs through jazz history – raising a powerful cry against injustice in our world. Max Roach, Miles Davis, Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone come to mind.
With "I Must Be Dreaming," Nanette Natal steps into this arena.
A passionate, challenging album, "I Must Be Dreaming" is her response to the political climate in America today.
"[Natal] brings to her songs the most important thing of all: heart...She lives her songs as well as singing them... [Natal] evokes the feel of Blues, but [her music] is more elaborate...In this music, we hear the other side of the American dream: the dark side." – JAZZ HOT, France
"[Natal's] voice and words are forces of nature..." - VELANCHE, URBAN LANDSCAPES, US
“There are great jazz undertones and a legacy to Billie’s ‘Strange Fruit’…” - MARK BLUNDRED, BBC RADIO, UK
“Sends a very strong message…a beautiful soul/jazz feel...” ADRIAN LEACH and MARK TAYLOR, RADIOSOUL, UK
A consummate artist, Ms. Natal is a genuine jazz singer in the grand tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. She has always held the measure of success to be the integrity of the art. Her musical sophistication, dynamic vocal style and personal connection to live audiences make her performances unforgettable.
