Well, if Bebel Gilberto was a Frenchy that had musical bloodlines without the infused royalty,you would get Capdeville. A most impressive first step and it certainly ain't no baby step. -(La Cigale)Chris Spector, Editor Midwest Record

Vocalist/songwriter Christine Capdeville's debut album VISION OF LOVE -- which includes seven original songs that she wrote - has just been released on La Cigale* Records. Vision of Love features an impressive line-up of talent including Grammy-winning Trumpeter Brian Lynch, Grammy Nominee and pianist Edsel Gomez (who also did the arrangements for most of the songs on the album); Drummer Ernesto Simpson; Bassists Howard Britz and Sergio Brandao; and percussionists Mestre Carneiro and Aryam Vazquez.
A highly recommended buy!
Born and raised in France, and a 15-year resident of New York City, Capdeville is already a composer and singer to be reckoned with. "My goal with this first recording project was to weave together a jazz tapestry of various music genres and create a coherent journey for the listener to enjoy," she says. "The album is a tribute to all the jazz forms that I have studied and listened to and that have been my strongest influences: From acid jazz in my teen years, to Afro-Cuban jazz, Brazilian music, and last but not least American jazz. However, I don't consider myself an expert in any of these forms. I love to sing traditional jazz standards and improvise on them but I don't see myself as a traditional jazz vocalist. Neither am I a salsera or an artist doing traditional Brazilian music. I think my strength as an artist is that I am able to work with all these genres and create a unique form of music and expression.
"From a content standpoint, Vision of Love is a very romantic journey. It's about that longing and yearning for real love and connection, not just between two people involved romantically but between all humans. The whole of humanity is still very immature spiritually and morally and true love can only happen if we "grow up" and step out of ourselves, e.g. 'Change in Your Heart'

Yes it is another recording by a female singer- songwriter but wait--something a little different is going on here.
Ms. Capdeville skillfully blends usual elements and emerges with something more. She has a rich, distinctive voice and a quirky original approach to lyrics (…) Vision of Love is a romantic journey and thus it both reflects imagined longings and very real responses to the world. Capdeville is composer of some skills with ears and heart open to many textures. Donald Elfman All About Jazz

CHRISTINE CAPDEVILLE/Vision of Love:
Well, if Bebel Gilberto was a Frenchy that had musical bloodlines without the infused royalty, you would get Capdeville. A vocalist/songwriter with a deep love of all kinds of jazz, this debut finds her taking the listener around the horn of her interests and talents. Not quite a cabaret set, it does have that foreigner view of jazz that combines wistfulness and passion into a stew that suckers in the gringos every time. A most impressive first step and it certainly ain’t no baby step. (La Cigale)
