Jamile Staevie Ayres w/Miki Yamanaka Trio — live event
With a deep and versatile voice, rising star vocalist Jamile is leaving her mark wherever she goes. Her latest album Daring Two Be (under La Reserve Records) was made in collaboration with guitarist Tony Davis and features the great Steve Wilson on alto saxophone. Her first album entitled 'If You Could See Me Now’ in 2019 was considered “(…) sharp, confident and professional” (Martin McFie, All About Jazz), and featured some of New York’s finest musicians Steve Wilson, Ray Gallon, Jay Leonhart, Vito Lesczak and Antonio Ciacca. Originally from Brazil, she has been a working vocalist from a young age and was a featured singer in the musical ‘Eu Sou Maria (Nativitaten)’, the largest outdoor Christmas project in the world, for an audience of 500,000 people throughout the season. Currently based in New York City and one of the most sought-after vocalists on the scene, Jamile has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in NYC including Birdland, Mezzrow, Minton's Playhouse, Smalls Jazz Club, and Jazz At Lincoln Center. Jamile has also received high praise for her performances internationally and she's a part of the project 'Don't Let Go', led by Grammy nominated pianist and composer Mike Holober. Jamile regularly performs with many of NYC's current jazz luminaries such as Miki Yamanaka, Benny Benack III, Yotam Silberstein, to name but a few. She captivates audiences with her unique phrasing and heartfelt tone, and impresses listeners with her virtuosity. Influenced by the vocal jazz and blues tradition, and rooted in the Brazilian rhythms, Jamile’s talent shines on any style or genre. Miki Yamanaka is a Japanese jazz musician currently living in New York City. Miki Yamanaka lived in Kyoto until she was 10, when she moved to Kobe.
