[CRAZY-HORSE]

NIKKI YANOFSKY "nikki" cd,2010.

Canadian jazz protege...
was appearing at the Montreux Jazz Festival by aged 11, headline act there at age 14...released this by age 16, portraited Ella Fitzgerald around that time also in a bio-pic stage show, so the gal was obviously talented..
i discovered her whilst searching youtube for new artists, although im not generally a fan of the song 'over the rainbow' her version blew me away...such a pitch perfect voice at such a young age,and the feel of the vocals was that of someone way beyong her youthful age...
sublime vocalist that knocks the socks off those stupid idol contestants.
and although i dont like some of the songs on the album, they do get "***" or "**" simply for her vocals, a great young vocalist with the world at her feet
