About the artist: Julie Silvera (USA) Jazz Vocalist
Three time Lionel Hampton award winner and two time Downbeat Magazine award winning jazz vocalist Julie Silvera brings her sophisticated and musical interpretations of both the “old and new” jazz standard library. Silvera has sung with amazing Jazz contemporary artists Russell Malone, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Ira Sullivan and the Lionel Hampton rhythm section to name a few. She has also had the pleasure of performing as a background vocalist for some of today’s musical greats including Michael Bublé, George Benson, Josh Groban, Gloria Estefan and KC of KC and the Sunshine Band. Silvera is known as a vocal stylist and storyteller with a warm and crystal clear sound that shows off her almost four octave range.
One critic states, “Listen to the honey – no molasses – of her tone… Just when you cozy into her velvet sound, she growls out a line that is motivated purely by swing. Phrasing around the rhythm and landing in the pocket, she swings, and swings hard.”The Jamaican born Jazz vocalist from America has toured Jazz clubs and festivals throughout Europe including Birdland Jazz Club, Hamburg, Cave Du 38Riv’–Paris, Elegance Jazz Café – Rome, 12/14 Jazz Club –Warsaw, Pashkevich Jazz Club –Riga, Deutsch Berlin Opera Jazz Ensemble – Berlin, Jedermann Kavezo – Budapest, Riga Jazz Festival and the Eppendorfer Jazz Festival and more. During her tours she promoted her first two albums “Sojourner” and “Because there is You” which showcase her ability to swing both with a traditional trio and in a duo collaboration which included the renowned Cuban guitarist, Jorge Garcia and seven time Latin Grammy winner Federico Britos on violin. Most recently, Silvera made her club debut to a sold out crowd at the B Flat Jazz Club in Berlin.
In 2022 Silvera released her first solo European effort titled, “About Time” on Huth Records. She assembled her rhythm section, Hamburg musicians, pianist Mischa Schumann, Oliver Kartens on bass and Moritz Hamm on drums in 2019; their tight musical rapport is evident. The quartet continues to play to appreciative audiences throughout Germany. Digital down load of “About Time” is available on all streaming services.
