MP3 Nelle Pingree - That Moment
10 MP3 Songs
WORLD: Judaica, BLUES: Rockin'' Blues
Details:
Nelle Pingree started singing professionally in Boston at the Top of the Hub and Paul’s Mall Jazz Workshop. She grew up on Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, Rosemary Clooney, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin. Her voice reflects all of those influences, but is uniquely her own.
Living in London, she appeared at Ronnie Scott’s as Nelle Brandt and eventually, moved to Santa Monica, California where she was the female singer for 20 years with the house band, Mike Cladis & Friends, at The Boat House on the Pier. From jazz to blues to rock & roll to country, her repertoire is impressive and her ability to tackle all styles of music is something that sets her apart.
Nelle became a songwriter and in the last 5 years has taken a detour from “love gone wrong” blues into exploring her Jewish identity through her music. The development of this music started with her study of Torah at Beth Shir Sholom in Santa Monica with Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels. There she has the great honor of being able to share her music with the congregation as "the chick with the band", The TishTones, their fabulous all member band.
“That Moment” incorporates her vocal gifts, writing talents and love of Torah to create a musical experience that is wonderful to hear with universal appeal in its contemporary commentary.
The music for this recording uses the Torah (Jewish Bible) as a context. The experiences expressed are universal and the context should feel familiar, particularly for those whose religious orientation is based on Abraham having been a founding father. Once you know that "Shabbat" is "Sabbath" and "Adonai" is "God", the rest is easy.
