Album Notes

With her captivating voice Pauline Jean is almost demanding her place among the new voices of jazz vocalists. It becomes immediately obvious that her style is grounded in the classic art form of jazz singers. That knowledge has allowed Pauline to developed her own vocal and lyrical expressions while drawing from that well, understanding the history and paying infinite tribute. Her versatility and sincere communication are soulful and spellbinding expressions in every song. In Pauline’s self-produced CD A Musical Offering, you can hear the depth of her devotion in her original compositions and through her creative arrangements of standards. Her music also shows us her ability and dedication to connect her Haitian background with the heritage of jazz. Pauline’s velvety voice has a range from the low resonance and earthiness of the great Sarah Vaughan to the electrifying voltage of Nina Simone. Pauline's rich voice will stay with you!
