Integrity Reeves brings an invigorating new voice to both the local and national jazz scene. Her EP Stairway To The Stars is described as "modern vintage," inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Feist, and The Bird and the Bee, and presents interpretations from classic Joao Gilberto bossa nova to The Cardigan’s "Lovefool." Indeed, Integriti’s light, bright, twee voice is reminiscent of contemporary indie-pop vocal tones, but she sings in a fiercely classical style. The combination is both technically impressive and stylistically refreshing, and is sure to appeal to both fans of classic jazz and neophytes eager to hear what a fresh young voice can do. Delightful through and through.
You can grab a copy of her EP on itunes, and catch her live at the Kennedy Center’s Millenium Stage on April 7th as part of the Center’s tribute to Billie Holiday in honor of her centennial. –Natan Press
