| | JACQUI NAYLOR can only be described as... supremely versatile. | |
| | This San Francisco- based vocalist and songwriter has launched | |
| | her fifth CD, The Color Five, which shines through jazz, pop, and | |
| | rock while adding touches of gospel, folk, blues, and even a | |
| | little humor into the mix. | |
| | | |
| | With The Color Five, Naylor has created an eclectic yet seamless | |
| | recording of five originals, five covers, and five of her | |
| | trademark "acoustic smashes." Acoustic smashing is a technique | |
| | invented by Naylor, and is the singing of a rock tune over a jazz | |
| | standard or vice versa. "There is true genius at work here," | |
| | claims legendary DJ Ken Dashow from New York's only classic rock | |
| | station, Q-104. For example, Naylor sings the American Songbook | |
| | classic "Summertime" over the music from The Allman Brothers' | |
| | southern rock classic "Whipping Post." Another surprising | |
| | "acoustic smash" on the new album is U2's "I Still Haven't Found | |
| | What I'm Looking For" sung over Miles Davis' "All Blues." | |
| | | |
| | "I wanted to blend genre in the interest of storytelling and | |
| | bring out all of who I am and who we are as a band," said Naylor. | |
| | Her quintet includes Jacqui on vocals; co-writer and co-producer | |
| | Art Khu on piano and guitar; Jon Evans on bass, Josh Jones on | |
| | drums, and Yoon Ki Chai on violin. Working with this group was a | |
| | thrill for Naylor; she added, "We had a blast making this | |
| | recording!" | |
| | | |
| | The Color Five follows Naylor's four previous releases, all | |
| | available on her own Ruby Star Records label and distributed | |
| | nationwide by Ryko Distribution. She received critical acclaim | |
| | for her self-titled debut CD in 1999 and for her follow-up CD in | |
| | 2001 entitled Live at the Plush Room. Her 2003 release, Shelter | |
| | prompted Vogue en Espanol to call her "the new voice of jazz and | |
| | pop" and JazzTimes deemed her "the next-big thing with originals | |
| | that are Joni Mitchell good." | |
| | | |
| | Her breakthrough fourth release, a double-live CD entitled Live | |
| | East/West, was released in 2005, and includes original works, | |
| | jazz standards, and the debut of "acoustic smashes." One of the | |
| | smashes featured on that album featured "My Funny Valentine" sung | |
| | over AC/DC's "Back in Black," a crowd favorite at Naylor's live | |
| | shows. | |
| | | |
| | Currently on tour in support of the new release, Naylor is | |
| | thrilled by the opportunity to bring her music to more fans and | |
| | venues both nation-and worldwide. "I truly enjoy the opportunity | |
| | to perform live for my listeners since it gives me a chance to | |
| | connect to them in a different way," she Jacqui. "It's more like | |
| | a conversation, and the energy of the audience inspires the way | |
| | we as a band make music." She's had the honor of opening for such | |
| | music greats as Michael McDonald and David Sanborn as well as | |
| | performing at numerous clubs and theaters, such as Birdland, Blue | |
| | Note, Blues Alley, Scullers, Yoshi's, Jazz Bakery, Plush Room, | |
| | and Snug Harbor as a headliner. Naylor has also been selected to | |
| | perform at the world-renowned Monterey and San Francisco Jazz | |
| | Festivals. | |
| | | |
| | The Color Five is just the next step on Jacqui's successful path, | |
| | one that has taken many twists and turns along the way. Raised in | |
| | Saratoga, CA, Naylor first became interested in music through her | |
| | parents' collection of antique automated instruments and vintage | |
| | jazz recordings. While learning songs from mechanical drums, | |
| | music boxes, and player pianos of the 1930s, she didn't realize | |
| | her tastes were not exactly contemporary. Jacqui explains, "I | |
| | didn't think this was old music, just what I liked and listened | |
| | to." | |
| | | |
| | Although she sang in musicals and talent shows during high | |
| | school, Jacqui put her desire to perform aside and pursued a | |
| | traditional college degree in marketing at San Francisco State | |
| | University. But after listening to a recording of Sarah Vaughan | |
| | singing Gershwin in a music appreciation class, she recognized | |
| | that music was indeed her true passion. In 1991 she began | |
| | studying with renowned San Francisco vocal coach Faith Winthrop, | |
| | and continued to do so for the next four years. | |
| | | |
| | Simultaneously, Jacqui worked full-time as the director of | |
| | marketing for clothing designer Lat Naylor. She spent her spare | |
| | time honing her vocal skills through lessons and by singing as a | |
| | soloist with the Sacred Heart Gospel Choir. She also trained with | |
| | Shirley Calloway (Anne Hampton Calloway's mother). In 1997 Jacqui | |
| | returned to San Francisco with one thing on her mind: to make | |
| | singing her full-time career. | |
| | | |
| | It didn't take long for jazz community to embrace Jacqui Naylor. | |
| | Phil Elwood of the San Francisco Examiner described her distinct | |
| | sound, which reminisces the bygone days of jazz greats, as | |
| | "Billie Holiday's inflections and a touch of June Christy." But | |
| | Jacqui's gospel-influence is just as recognizable, especially in | |
| | jazz interpretations of her own generation's music and her | |
| | originals. It's this combination of past, present, and future | |
| | that explains her ability to attract old-time aficionados, new | |
| | jazz enthusiasts, and fans of modern adult pop music. As Cabaret | |
| | Magazine puts it, "She can make you sway gently with a | |
| | blues-flavored melody, heat up a room with a strong R&B sound and | |
| | then cool it right down with a smoothness that slides gently into | |
| | your ear." | |
