TEASER

APELO (Baden Powel )

RACHAEL MAGIDSON rach me
accompanies her sublime delivery of lyrics and subtly sensuous voice with exquisite Afro Cuban percussion

frighteningly hedonistic impact…Magidson is one of those song stylists … that pretty much has her way with you emotionally. You could easily succumb to a state of bewitched, bothered bewilderment…(Jazz Music Review)

…her dark and refined flugelhorn also adds a nocturnal mystique … ” Her gorgeously mellow and fat tone…blows like a fragrant and heady breeze…”  (All About Jazz)

“outstanding with the percussion.” (Audiophile Audition)

” … it is almost uncanny how much Magidson captures Holiday’s unique delivery.” (All About Vocals)
