Chloe Brisson, Jazz Vocalist

At seventeen, Chloe Brisson is a talented and energetic emerging Jazz vocalist who has thrilled audiences with her gift of song and savvy stage presence. Her new CD, entitled "BLAME IT ON MY YOUTH" is to be released in Jan. 2012 and promises to place her as a jazz talent that is here to stay!  The August studio session, at Manfred Knoop Recording Studio, brought in friends and heavy hitters such as Bill Mays, Martin Wind, Marvin Stamm, Matt Wilson, Fred Haas and Ben Williams.  The CD also includes a guest vocal duet with Jazz Master Sheila Jordan!  As we move into 2012, it is apparent that this will be a very busy year for the high school Junior.  During the past two years, Chloe has studied at Dartmouth College where she attends classes, studies jazz theory and piano, and performs extensively with the nationally acclaimed Dartmouth College Gospel Choir.  Chloe's devotion to the roots of jazz and her drive to continue the genre forward, make her a special asset to the jazz community.  Chloe has attended Interplay Jazz Camp each summer and has worked with Sheila Jordan, Dianne Reeves, Karrin Allyson and Dena DeRose.  She also attended the five week summer program at Berklee College of Music. Her Debut  CD entitled "RED DOOR SESSIONS" was recorded in December of 2007 at the age of 13. 

 Chloe has a natural gift for expressing emotion through music and has developed the ability to free flow with musicians of many talents. She truly embraces the art of Jazz where the connection with the band and the audience are palatable in her performances. Chloe has performed for packed audiences throughout the NH and VT region, including First Night Burlington and the Burlington Waterfront Festival. She also has donated many evenings of wonderful jazz entertainment to local charities and fundraisers. In addition to her vocal bookings, Chloe's television debut was in 2006 when she was cast to host a PBS DRAGONFLY TV program entitled "Water Pressure". She is the recent winner of the "ARTIST LIVE TEEN" talent competition at Ryles Jazz club in Cambridge, Ma. and is currently booking spring and summer festivals and performances.
