Nanette Natal’ s music has always defied categories. One of the most interesting and exciting singers working in jazz today, she is a consummate artist in the grand tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and has delivered her socially conscious rhythmic blues/ rock message alongside Mahalia Jackson and Odetta. Rooted in jazz, blues, gospel, and New Orleans style, her latest CD "I Must Be Dreaming" is a 2008 Village Voice Jazz Consumer Guide listing. She has garnered consistent raves throughout the U.S. and Europe including: "Ms. Natal bends and twists her notes in unexpected fashions, makes startling leaps around the scales, and has the daring to expand and extend what might be a satisfactory note to open up a fresh and revealing color”(NY Times) and "...she's a hell of a singer...the extended improv marvels are the most fascinating, like an intense 'You Go to My Head' that ends up somewhere close to Coltrane's 'Equinox.' This is jazz singing at its highest level." (Cadence).
