Sable Winters' booking and marketing camp remains mindful of her international performance schedule and goals. On Thursday, February 24th, 2005, Sable was invited to perform with other international musicians at the bohemian charm of Club de Jazz in Santiago, Chile. The visit was coordinated with a business trip along with her husband's parent company. Sort of a second honeymoon. On this particular night during their stay at the Ritz-Carlton in Santiago, word came about to the bar staff that a jazz singer from America was in the house. They had stopped off in the lounge for a quick cocktail while awaiting their car. 1+1=2 and a bar staffer requested a song or two. Sable was obliged to deliver. The lounge pianists talent was uniquely superior though he did not speak English. We do wish to offer much thanks.
Off to Club de Jazz. The club opened where a vocal ensemble set lead by Marcelo Vergara (Marcelo Andrés Vergara Martínez) was delightful. It was a very well rehearsed and the four members delivered a stellar Latin jazz performance including some solos by the other member musicians, including one enchanting female vocalist (unknown). The second and final set was delivered by Sable Winters supported by two other international musicians. On guitar was Federico Dannemann and on bass, Pablo Lecaros.
Sable had such a blast jamming with these competent musicians. They hardly speak a word of each other's language, but they each were successful at speaking the universal language that is music. For this improvised set there was no need for charts or arrangements. All these guys needed was a single acappella bar and off they ran like a freight train. Some songs included Tenderly and a smooth jazz interpretation of So Many Stars, which was of significant appeal to the Chilean audience. The audience was intimate, but large in their appreciation and enthusiasm.
If you should ever have a chance to visit Santiago, Chile, please don't hesitate to pay Club de Jazz a visit. You won't be sorry. Have dinner earlier at one of the many fine restaurants. Enjoy a bottle of your choice of fine Chilean wine at your table. Sable recommends the cheese tray while enjoying the fruit of the vine. What a joy!
On a personal note: Sable communicates, "On this trip I focused on songwriting. This is my first attempt at original material. Every other singer/songwriter has addressed couples related stuff. So I dealt less with the subject. I explored the deeper issues of the family dynamic, including the loss of parents or children or siblings; the confusion over the viability of some friendships, seeking to find your place in life, and most controversial, my personal spiritual beliefs, questions and understanding. I have a lot to say."
