Here is Nikki Yanofsky singing It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) together with Canadian pianist Oliver Jones.
I featured Nikki Yanofsky some weeks ago where she sung Airmail Special, scatting just like Ella Fitzgerald. There seems to be a lot of interest in Nikki so I thought that I would present another video clip with her.
What I like about Nikki Yanofsky in this video clip is her phrasing, just listen to how she deliver the words, how she bends and stretches them or chops them up in perfect pieces. Excellent.
If you're interested in how Ella did it, take a look at Ella Fitzgerald singing "It Don't Mean a Thing".
What do you think of Nikki Yanofsky singing "It Don't Mean a Thing"? Tell me.
Wow! I never heard of her until I picked up "We All Love Ella", now I'm searching for more of Nikki. Look out Diana Krall, here is another Canadian that is going somewhere FAST!
