HIP CHICK ALERT puts the spotlight on Anita Wardell, a true artist

February 13, 2016 by Perez Leave a Comment

What is a true artist – a person who dedicates his or her life to an art form- a person who is deeply focused on what they are creating in a moment- a person who has masterfully achieved the goal of finding a voice and yet is a part of their surroundings.  Anita Wardelll is that – all of that – and more.  Last night at the the Kitano Jazz she effortlessly presented 2 sets of flawless music along with Art Hiraharaara – Matt Aronoff and Josh Morrison –

Anita can move you with a ballad – like the Road with her lyrics to a Pat Metheny composition – another she sang was FOR ALL WE KNOW she also stimulates you with her witty lyrics to hip cats of the past solos.  Viscosity by Jay Jay Johnson ended her first set and it was flawless- and I saw several folks in the audience filming this as for it was another masterpiece on Anita’s part – witty lyrics – written by Wardell- and her spot on vocal techniques

As you watch her performance you see her focus as her eyes are closed at times and swaying to the music created by the trio that’s backing her- she is integrated into the music along with the trio created so many magical moments – all 4 musicians connecting and a pure musical message was translated to the audience- Gino Moratti – the Booker of this club said that he has never heard anyone scat like Anita – ‘’she is in a class all her own’’- and let me tell you all Gino has seen may performers over the years and he has the know how to know that he’s talking about and I respect his opinion- We will see Anita back in the states later on this year- She is available for Skype master vocal lessons through her site below, and if she’s preforming any where near you – go go go see her in action  – a Treasure to the musical community – Anita WARDELL-

What a night.Joni Mitchell just received the Gersh What a night.Joni Mitchell just received the Gershwin Prize. A moving and fantastic tribute with James Taylor, Graham Nash, Annie Lennox, Angelique Kidjo, Herbie Hancock, Ledisi, Diana Krall, Cyndi Lauper, and of course Brandi Carlile!! Then Joni sang 2 tunes at the end and sounded fantastic. Summer time by gershman and well I think you should check it out to see the second song she sang. I came to tear several times during the performances. Diana krall moved it. Brandy carlile spectacular Graham Nash James Taylor any Linux? It was out of the park. What a beautiful beautiful performance. You can find the show on pbs.org. If you didn't catch it tonight, I seriously suggest you catch it. Inspirational innovative Joni  Mitchel gave us so much , a true artist. A true poet. She wrote about history in the making the making, pure strength. Pure beauty.
