Champian Fulton - Champian Sings And Swings (Sharp Nine 2013)

Called ''...the most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation'' by noted jazz critic Mark Stryker of the Detroit Free Press, singer/pianist Champian Fulton marks her Sharp Nine debut with a program of twelve tunes that conveys the depth and breadth of her musical talent: from the sauciest blues of It's Too Late, Baby Too Late to the sophisticated bebop lines she spins on Bud Powell's Celia, the common denominator is the natural born swing that emanates from every word she sings and every note she plays. Accompanied by her working rhythm section throughout, with guest appearances from tenor man Eric Alexander and flugelhornist Stephen Fulton, this set announces the emergence of a complete musical stylist well on her way to making a significant mark on the vocal jazz scene.
