About
Accompanied by her compatriot David Lewis (Paris Combo) on trumpet, Cédric Piromalli (piano), Benoit Dunoyer de Segonzac (bass) and Patrick Fileul (drums), Jody Sternberg, "the most Parisian of Australian singers", pays tribute to the woman Orson Welles described as "the most exciting woman in the world!"
The show revisits Kitt's often provocative work – from early jazz standards like "C'est Si Bon" and "I Want to Be Evil" to more recent disco hits such as "Where Is My Man" – in English and French, with compositions and new arrangements by Sternberg and Lewis.
"There is such a warm way of hosting, speaking to people, introducing the tracks or showing affection for her musicians. The evidence is there: Jody Sternberg, a singer and saxophonist with an irresistible sincerity, is a beautiful, great soul. But if her presence is so touching, the songs, compositions or standards achieve it just as well. You only have to look at the audience leaving the concert: everyone is smiling." Telerama Sortir
