one-sheet - Charmaine Clamor

Charmaine Clamor
Flippin’ Out
National Radio Impact Date: August 13, 2007
The Artist: CHARMAINE CLAMOR [clah-MORE] is the
first Filipina to find success on American jazz radio. Backed
by Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, and Ray Brinker, members
of the Grammy-nominated Tierney Sutton Band, Clamor
melds American jazz, blues, and soul with traditional Filipino
folk music, creating a new hybrid genre she calls “jazzipino.”
Flippin’ Out features Filipino guest artists like Julius Tolentino
(Sharp Nine), Ric Ickard (Naxos), and the Hawaiian ukulele
master Abe Lagrimas, Jr., as well as the ancient Filipino
percussion ensemble called the kulintang. It’s “world” music
for jazz listeners.
“When Charmaine Clamor’s warm, luscious contralto slips into a
seductive rhythm or purrs through tender lyrics, there’s no doubt that a
first-rate jazz talent is present. Her debut album announced the arrival
of an impressive new vocal artist.” -- Don Heckman, LA TIMES
“Blessed with a bedroom eyes voice, Clamor could shake the musical
world.” -- George Harris, All About Jazz
“With her deep, contralto voice, Charmaine Clamor interprets
standards with the kind of sincere feeling that sends a message along
the straight and narrow, without detour. You’re left with no doubts:
She’s forthright, convincing, and talented.”
-- Jim Santella, LA JAZZ SCENE
