Editorial Reviews b. 10 June 1945, Brooklyn, New York. Nanette Natal's singing career began as a teen in the 1960s with the Helen Hayes Young People's Theater Guild. She then went on to work the Bitter End Coffee House Circuit and such venues as the Gaslight, The Orpheum Theatre, Bottom Line and the Cafe Au Go Go, and recorded with Vanguard and EVOLUTION records. Performing her own material, which developed into blues and rock, she accompanied herself with a guitar and toured universities and concert halls throughout the country. In the late 70s while singing Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" during a pop recording session at Columbia Records, she changed the phrasing dramatically and subsequently was told by a prominent engineer that she had the soul of a jazz singer. This moment was a turning point in Nanette's musical life. Stifled creatively by a string of recording contracts, Nanette set out on a path of developing her own production company, Benyo Music Productions. In the early 80s, she became a strong influence on the New York Downtown jazz loft scene, with long stints at the Tin Palace and Seventh Avenue South. Compared all the time to Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald for an incredible vocal range and scatting ability respectively, she is one of the most extraordinary singers and live performers today. The measure of her success has always been about the integrity of the art. Her main inspirational sources have been Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Henry Mancini and Duke Ellington. Nanette Natal is also a composer of Considerable merit.

About the Artist
Biography Nanette Natal
Album Description
Nanette Natal has long been a major singer, one whose expressive interpretations of lyrics and sharp ability to improvise have made her an important if underrated talent. On It's Only a Tune, she mostly sticks to original ballads plus a couple soulful medium-tempo pieces. Natal wrote all of the music, and her intelligent and often philosophical lyrics make a few of her tunes possibilities to become standards in the future if enough singers hear this set. Natal's interplay with the horns is playful and bluesy, adding to the appeal of this excellent set... AMG
