Vancouver International Jazz Festival Marquee Series presents Veronica Swift
Veronica Swift has been ascending to the upper echelon of 21st century jazz singers over the last few years; with the interpretive ingenuity, bracing songwriting, and keen arrangements of her new eponymously titled album, she’s most certainly arrived.
While the Wall Street Journal has praised her “miraculous voice and innate gift for entertaining a crowd”, Swift’s not just one of the most dazzling singers of her generation, she’s also one of the most versatile. We hear moments of inspiration from Chopin and Beethoven, Puccini and Antônio Carlos Jobim, Queen and Nine Inch Nails, as Swift stirs opera, European classical music, bossa nova, blues, industrial rock, funk, and vaudeville into the melting pot of her dynamic, joyful modern jazz.
