VIOLETTA: Unconditional Love
InfluencesSarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita Baker, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson.
Sounds Like"Jazz pianist Jaume Vilaseca, short-listed for a Grammy in Latin Jazz in 2006, is featured on the new CD. The two have a great chemistry together. Unconditional Love is a collaborative album with a gifted cast of musicians." Metropolitan Magazine, 1/9/08.........."Violetta is soul-oriented, with strains of Stevie Wonder and Dione Warwick in her lithe, improvisatory vocals" - Sunday Tribune, 1/7/07............"Her strong voice and roots in Jazz, Soul, Funk and Blues make Violetta Curry one of the greats of American music". 20 minutes, 31/03/06.........." A dynamic vocalist!" El Correo de Bilbao March 31/3/2006.......... "Gifted with a very impressive voice, her strength and her energy proceed from her roots in Philadelphia, where she grew up with Jazz." ADN daily paper 31/03/06.......... "This native of Philadelphia is a master of the essence of Black music with an absolute knowledge of what she is doing". La Boîte critique, 06/2002

   About V I O L E T T A
I was born in PHILADELPHIA, into the black music tradition offered by that town. But not only did I feel the music on the street, I was also lucky enough to have the influence in my own living room because my father was a professional musician of the first rank. Paul Curry, a jazz pianist-arranger-composer-conductor, toured extensively with his own quartet and devised and arranged for internationally famous tap dancer Gregory Hines. My father also played with most of the greats, including Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald, both seminal influences on my own ambition to sing. Barcelona, my current home, might seem like a long way from a Philadelphia neighborhood but I am clear about my stance on race, music, and the US. I don't believe in conflict. I believe in harmony, not only in music but in life. Having performed in many places and on many stages, recorded with many artists and on various labels, it is in recent years that I have found my own style and voice as a singer and composer, particularly in collaboration with the great jazz pianist from Barcelona, Jaume Vilaseca. Look out for my new album 'Unconditional Love' in 2008, a sound in the NuSoulJazz mould: arrangements and piano, Jaume Vilaseca/bass, Joseph 'The Duke' Roberts/drums, Cheryl Alleyne. And now that you've read the formal stuff get in touch and let's get the talk flowin' and the music down! SELECTED PERFORMANCES Gran Casino (Barcelona) – with the Jaume Vilaseca quartet. Jamboree (Barcelona) – with the Jaume Vilaseca quartet. Cova del Jazz (Terrassa) Kasbah (Barcelona) – with DJ Creys. Mexico – Gateways to the Americas Festival. GREC Festival (Barcelona) – with the Jaume Vilaseca quartet. Festival Internacional Colombia – with the Jaume Vilaseca quartet. Cal Ninyo (Sant Boi) - with Jaume Vilaseca. Charleville Castle (Ireland) - with Jaume Vilaseca. Twisted Lounge (London) - with Jaume Vilaseca, Cheryl Alleyne, Joseph Roberts.
