DESCRIPTION: Performances: 8/4 - 7 PM 8/4 - 10 PM 8/5 - 7 PM Rachelle Ferr
 ell is unquestionably one of the most dynamic talents in contemporary pop 
 music. Very few vocal artists in the industry have Ferrell’s potent comb
 ination of range\, phrasing\, and musicianship. Ferrell first emerged in t
 he states with her R&amp\;B debut Rachelle Ferrell (1992)\, a solid collec
 tion of self-penned originals that featured a striking duet with Will Down
 ing (‘Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This’). It was with the release of Fi
 rst Instrument in 1994 (recorded prior to Rachelle Ferrell) that audiences
  were really introduced to Ferrell’s jazz sensibilities. Rachelle Ferrel
 l began singing at the age of six\, which many speculate contributed to th
 e “development of her startling six and change octave range.” Her rang
 e also includes the ability to sing in the whistle register\, as stated in
  an editorial review in which she references her highest notes in “It on
 ly took a minute” as “Minnie Riperton-like wailing”. She received cl
 assical training in violin at an early age and by the time she was a teen\
 , she was able to play the piano at a professional level. She enrolled in 
 Berklee College of Music in Boston where she honed her musical abilities i
 n arrangement\, singing and songwriting. From 1975-90\, Ferrell sang backu
 p for Lou Rawls\, Patti LaBelle\, Vanessa Williams\, and George Duke. Ferr
 ell’s debut\, First Instrument\, was released in 1990 in Japan\, five ye
 ars prior to its US release. Recorded with bassist Tyrone Brown\, pianist 
 Eddie Green and drummer Doug Nally\, an all-star cast of accompanists also
  leave their mark on her record. They include trumpeter Terence Blanchard\
 , pianists Gil Goldstein and Michel Petrucciani\, bassists Kenny Davis and
  Stanley Clarke\, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter and keyboardist Pete Lev
 in. Her unique take on now-standards like Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me”\
 , Cole Porter’s “What Is This Thing Called Love”\, and Rodgers &amp\
 ; Hart’s “My Funny Valentine”\, captured the hearts and souls of the
  Japanese jazz buying public…
