Cyrille Aimée Sings Jazz With A Sniper s Precision Michael Jackson brushes shoulders with Sarah Vaughan in the person of Cyrille Aimée, a saucy, curly-haired jazz singer with one foot in tradition and the other in electronics. - Stephen Holden,
New York Times
Cyrille Aimée grew up in Samois-sur-Seine, the French town that Django Reinhardt called home in his final years. Thanks to the annual Django Reinhardt Festival, as a twelve-year-old, Aimée got hooked by the joyous rhythms of Manouche jazz. She spent her teen years playing music live, first in Paris s clubs and cafes, then weekly at New York s Birdland Jazz Club during her years as a music student at SUNY Purchase. Aimée went on to win the Montreux Jazz Festival and Sarah Vaughan Jazz Competitions and immersed herself in New York s jazz and theater scenes. After ten years there, she moved south to The Big Easy. Aimée spoke to host John Floridis from her home in New Orleans.
