Phyllis Chapell - Naked World (2015)

Close

Billie Holiday meets Joni Mitchell when multilingual vocalist Phyllis Chapell performs her soulful music. "Naked World" is the third solo release from Chapell, but the seventh if you include her time with the world-renowned jazz ensemble, Phyllis Chapell & SIORA. Named one of the best jazz vocalists of all time by Scott Yanow of Jazz Times, Downbeat, and All Music Guide, Phyllis has a voice that can only be described as “beautifully unique.”

After the death of her long-time musical partner in SIORA (Dan Kleiman), and her husband (Mark), Phyllis Chapell has reinvigorated her life and spirit and has embarked on a new musical journey with the help of Emmy-award winning producer/composer Rodney Whittenberg. The “Naked World” CD reflects
this new phase of her life–embracing the past, present and future with inspiration, joy and passion.
