Emma Sidney is a jazz vocalist based in Melbourne Australia, who interprets the best of jazz, Latin, swing, standards and classic pop.
Making the simple
complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple,
that's creativity. Charles Mingus
Emma’s beautiful voice and smooth delivery immediately
captures your attention. Realising Emma dives into each song with true passion
seeps into the senses more slowly. As you listen, that feeling grows and
becomes palpable and delightful.
You are the music while the music lasts.
T.S. Eliot
Magical
singers like Frank Sinatra and Kurt Elling inspire Emma to choose the song and
lyric carefully, because lyric and melody become meaning. Experiencing the
words, diving into the melody and giving it her all is something Emma does
exceptionally well. Sharing that experience with her and of her is a pleasure.
Music melts all the
separate parts of our bodies together. Anais Nin
Making
jazz a shared joy is Emma’s goal. Improvisation and a constant flux of
interpretation are essential to keeping the group buzzing and elated. However,
Emma keeps touch at every step, so that technique never transplants the emotion
of the song being shared with the audience.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the
sensual life. Ludwig van Beethoven
A passion for Brazilian Bossa Nova motivated Emma’s latest album. The work of Antonio (Tom) Jobim inspired Dance in the Light which is set for release later this year. Emma also composes, teaches gig craft and has dived head first into the world of big band singing.
