The New York concert debut of vocalist Angie Wells plays on Saturday, July 15 at 9:30 PM at Chelsea Table + Stage. She will be joined by Willerm Dellisfort on piano, Barry Stephenson on bass, Curtis Nowosad on drums and Atoine Drye on trumpet and flugelhorn.
The evening celebrates her sophomore recording project, Truth Be Told, a collection of original tunes and reimagined cover songs from R&B-influenced jazz and low-down blues to tear-jerking ballads with her smokey well-rounded voice.
Wells began her singing career in an intimate supper club in St. Germain des Pres in Paris. She eventually returned to France to tour with pianist Raphael Lemonnier. Wells qualified as a semi-finalist in the first annual Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition and has played and recorded at home with some of LA’s best jazz musicians including John Clayton, Clayton Cameron, Bill Cunliffe, Kenny Elliot, Joe LaBarbera, and Rickey Woodard. She has performed at various jazz and music festivals in the States, including The Telluride Jazz Festival and The San Jose Summer Jazz Fest as guest vocalist of Kermit Ruffins, KJAZZ LACMA Jazz Series, and in France at The MoZ’aique Festival, Festival Jazz au Chateau and Festival Jazz De Colliure.
