  | VERED DEKEL ~ LIVE AT SHABLUL JAZZ
NOT ON LABEL ~ ISRAEL ~ Jazz
Recorded: 2007 Released: 2007
3rd album by Israeli vocalist / pianist / composer Vered DekelFind albums by this artist, who returned to Israel after spending many years in New York, where she studied, performed and recorded her first two albums. Vered is surely one of Israel’s most gifted female Jazz vocalists, with an unorthodox approach to music and a very unique singing technique. Although deeply rooted in the Jazz tradition, she incorporates twists and turns typical of other genres, especially Rhythm And Blues and even some World Music influences. A great sense of humor (and some cynicism) is evident in her lyrics (in English), but that does not affect the generally happy and spirited atmosphere of this live recording, which was captured at the Tel-Aviv Jazz Club “Shablul”. Guitarist Yair LaronFind albums by this artist, bassist Gil ZoharFind albums by this artist and drummer Nir BrenerFind albums by this artist accompany her here and a couple of young singers supply backing vocals and harmonies to make things even livelier. Vered composed all but one of the tunes, one of which was co-composed by her NY singing partner Miles GriffithFind albums by this artist (with whom she recorded her wonderful first album Expanded InterpretationsFind albums with this title). This is great stuff for people who like vocal Jazz and another great document of the Israeli Jazz scene.

  | VERED DEKEL / MILES GRIFFITH ~ EXPANDED INTERPRETATIONS
VDMG 7063 ~ ISRAEL ~ Jazz
Recorded: 2002 Released: 2002
Debut album by a duo of jazz singers: Vered DekelFind albums by this artist from Israel and Miles GriffithFind albums by this artist from the US. Outstanding vocal jazz, well based in the tradition but completely original and innovative. The plethora of sounds and voices produced by these two singers is unimaginable - one has to hear this to believe. Strong and tasteful support by the instrumentalist. A beautiful and extraordinary musical experience.
