”Australian singer and multi-instrumentalist Jody Sternberg pays a jazzy and eclectic tribute to cabaret icon Eartha Kitt.
Accompanied by her compatriot David Lewis (Paris Combo) on trumpet, Cédric Piromalli (piano), Benoit Dunoyer
de Segonzac (bass) and Patrick Fileul (drums), Jody Sternberg, "the most Parisian of Australian singers",
pays tribute to the woman whom Orson Welles described as "the most exciting woman in the world!"
The show revisits Kitt's often provocative work – from early jazz standards like "C'est Si Bon" and "I Want to Be Evil" to more recent disco hits such as "Where Is My Man" – in English and French, with compositions and new arrangements by Sternberg and Lewis.
"There's this incredibly warm way she welcomes people, talks to them, introduces the songs, and shows affection to her musicians. It's undeniable: Jody Sternberg, an irresistibly sincere singer and saxophonist, is a beautiful, truly great soul. But if her presence is so moving, the songs, whether original compositions or standards, are equally effective. Just look at the audience leaving the concert: everyone is smiling." Telerama Sortir
