MISS MIDORI & THE JAZZ INQUISITION (S-SSD 0061) A NEW SOUTHPORT RECORDS RELEASE! "This swing siren crawls inside every song she performs"

T. E. Lawler, Swing Time Magazine The new generation of jazz artists speaks with the arrival of Miss Midori and The Jazz Inquisition ensemble. This "hot" spring release is a mix of jazz/swing standards and Miss Midori originals. Her singing influences include Dinah Washington, Josephine Baker and Billie Holliday. Holding court at Chicago's hot swing club Olive on late Saturday nights, Miss Midori has built a large youthful crowd of BOTH listeners and dancers! There is a worldly slyness to the voice of Miss Midori as if she has lived countless lifetimes. Cut #1, "EVIL" paints a sinister urban musical landscape as the band slips along. There is a joyous camp to the ensemble's treatment of Cut #3, "AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'". Miss Midori represents a return to emotion, movement and excitement in jazz and swing. She represents the modern woman singer, composer and artist that pulls from the past and tosses sounds into the future. She is a part of the new jazz.
