Description
Vocalist Kristin Berardi's album, 'The Light and the Dark', brings to light the beauty and injustices that occur in life. Expect honesty, raw emotion, and dynamic performances from modern jazz luminaries including trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, pianist Miro Sprague, double bassist Marty Jaffe, and drummer Jerome Jennings. Guest appearances include saxophonist Troy Roberts and bassist Sam Anning, who also produced the session.
Soaring power and delicate nuances make Kristin Berardi one of Australia's most gifted jazz singers. She is universally acknowledged as a vocalist of rare talent and technique that continues to astonish, and endear herself to, audiences around the world. Her music uses the voice to advocate for the lesser-known stories, telling a myriad of personal reflections on life, relationships, love and the everyday trappings of one's existence.
Having received every notable Australian jazz prize, as well as the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival's International Vocal Competition, Kristin's original compositions and peerless interpretations showcase her exquisite timbre and effortless improvisations. Originally from Mackay, in far northern-eastern Australia, she now resides in Lucerne, Switzerland, a staff member at the HSLU - Institute of Jazz and Folk Music. Berardi has released 13 solo albums and worked with an increible list of artists throughout Australia, Europe and North America, including Kenny Werner, Thomas Morgan and Dan Tepfer.
