Alexis Tantau

With extensive training as classical singer and having sung with various opera companies locally and abroad, it came as something of a surprise when the door to the world of jazz swung wide open for Miss Tantau less than two years ago. Planning to specialize in French art song and opera, she took several trips to study in France, including a year to study Occitan, the endangered language of her ancestors. Over the years, she took her teachers’ suggestions to sing Edith Piaf songs lightheartedly—until she began landing more gigs singing Piaf than Bizet! Her highly-sought renditions of famous French songs by the likes of Edith Piaf, Eartha Kitt, and Charles Trenet wonderfully compliment the WWII era vibe of the Hot Club, showing off her lustrous vocal timbre, and delicious French diction.

Her compositions "meld the sophistication of jazz with the timeless intimacy of folk." (Ink 19 Magazine) 

Sandy Cooperman of The Daily Sun said "she is able to say more with humming than most singers can say with words... reminiscent of a young Barbra Streisand."  Derek Sivers, the founder of CD Baby, upon hearing Natalie's debut album, said: "I love Natalie's narrative, lyrical style, like Joni Mitchell's 'The Hissing Of Summer Lawns." 

Corinne

Born: March 7

Evocative and provocative, “Tickled Pink,” the latest 2024 single release from Corinne, out now and available everywhere, infuses a modern spin on bossa jazz. She flirts with a pop sensibility, as well as her lyrical romantic subject, yet maintains the integrity of the traditional style. 

The song is both an instant throwback to another time and a modern classic. With just one listen, your toes feel equally buried in the sandy beaches of Rio ’24 or ’64. Corinne is an old soul who offers both sanctuary to tradition and a pioneering modern style. If Corinne has her way, “Tickled Pink” will be the new black this summer.
