A promising young jazz singer, Camille Bertault was born in Paris, she began studying at the Paris Conservatory when she was 8, studied classical piano, composition and opera at the Conservatory in Nice, and was briefly involved in theater before deciding to dedicate herself to jazz singing when she was 25.
Most influenced by instrumentalists, she has often written French lyrics to jazz solos along with composing originals in the jazz tradition.
Ms. Bertault began making videos on Facebook a few years ago and has become a bit of a sensation in France; her first album to be released in the U.S. is En Vie on the Sunnyside label.
On her LiveStream from May 10, 2020, she performs several originals plus a heartfelt version of “Black Coffee,” “Footprints,” and a Jobim tune while accompanied by a fine pianist; this performance serves as an excellent introduction to Camille Bertault.

The great trumpeter Sean Jones has teamed up with singer Brinae Ali (who also tap dances) and electronic wizard Wendel Patrick to form Dizzy Spellz, a unique Dizzy Gillespie tribute band.
Despite the sparse background behind the trumpeter, the trio is quite effective in paying homage to Gillespie but in a very contemporary way.
Brinae Ali takes brief vocals (she is a fine singer), dances to the music, and offers commentary while Wendel Patrick achieves a wide variety of sounds.
With Sean Jones emulating Gillespie but in his own sound, the group on Apr. 26, 2020 performs unique versions of “Vote Dizzy” (based on “Salt Peanuts”) and “A Night In Tunisia” plus some politically-charged funky vamps.
They certainly hold one’s interest throughout.

Review:
This is the ninety second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Violinist Layale Chaker was born in Lebanon, had training at the National Higher Conservatory of Beirut, studied in Paris and London, and settled in New York.
While she is a classical violinist and composer, her music is also open to the improvisation and rhythms of jazz and Arabic music; Chaker’s debut album Inner Rhyme is strongly influenced and inspired by Arabic poetry.
On her LiveStream of April 17, 2020, which is her edition of the Silkroad Home Sessions, she performs as the lead violinist with a string ensemble, accompanied on two of the three pieces by picturesque art work.
The quietly emotional music is moody and effective.

Although he was born and raised in Long Beach, California, Evan Christopher has been an important clarinetist in the New Orleans jazz scene since originally moving there in 1994.
He was with the Jim Cullum Jazz Band in San Antonio during 1996-99 before moving back to New Orleans, leading at least 11 CDs including several with his Django a la Creole group in Paris.
On this entertaining LiveStream from July 5, 2020, he practices social distancing while playing outside with his Clarinet Road which during this performance is a quartet that also includes trumpeter-singer Kevin Lewis, Matt Perrrine on sousaphone, and David Torkanowsky who plays his piano on the back of a pickup truck.
The group performs spirited versions of “Alone Together” (overcoming sound problems that make the music inaudible for a minute), “Dippermouth Blues,” a hot “You’re Driving Me Crazy,” “What A Wonderful World,” and the closing “Tin Roof Blues.”
