Wow! You must see Nikki Yanofsky sing Airmail Special in this video clip.
Nikki Yanofsky is an amazingly talented 13-year-old from Montreal, Canada who is one of the artists that sings on a tribute album called "We All Love Ella - Celebrating the First Lady of Song". The Ella that we love is of course Ella Fitzgerald and Nikki Yanofsky does a fantastic performance when she scats through Airmail Special in the style of Ella Fitzgerald.
Here is also a video clip where Nikki Yanofsky talks about being selected as one of the artists for the Ella Fitgerald tribute album. She has good company on the album: Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Dianne Reeves, Michael Buble and Etta James among others.
I'd love to see what Nikki Yanofsky does next when she finds her own voice in the world of jazz. Go girl!
If you like these video clips, you'll like seeing Nikki sing It Don't Mean A Thing.
How did I find out about her? Through the "Hey Mr Jesse" July 2007 episode. More on that later.
What do you think of the video clip with Nikki Yanofsky singing Airmail Special? Tell me.
