Aimée Allen Quartet (USA/CZ)
JAZZ OF FOUR CONTINENTS
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, vocalist Aimée Allen's intimate connection with music began as a child. Her childhood was scored with classic jazz on the family turntable. Though singing was a part of her childhood, Aimée first began singing professionally with jazz a cappella groups in college. After graduation, she moved to Paris where she performed regularly in jazz clubs and festivals. The deep relationship between the francophone audiences and Brazilian bossa nova, led Aimée to form Les Bossa Novices, a Paris-based group dedicated to bossa and jazz. Aimée now performs regularly in New York City and abroad, having toured in France, Italy, Russia, and Senegal. Jazz standards and bossa nova are part of her repertoire, but now an accomplished songwriter, she also sings her original compositions, many of which have become audience favorites. Her original music has been licensed for film and television. She has sung with many renowned musicians including Romero Lubambo, Ron McClure, François Moutin, Rozwell Rudd, Ari Hoenig, and Yomo Toro.
