Salena Jones

Salena Jones 1944年1月29日，出生在美國弗吉尼亞州的新港。從小就醉心于爵士樂歌唱的她，還是個黃毛丫頭的時候就在自己的家鄉開始了歌唱生涯。Salena Jones有著一副似乎是煙熏火燎過的暗淡但又極具磁性的獨特嗓子，寬厚而共鳴豐富的嗓音真是魅力獨具！在樂壇馳騁30多年的她，對各種音樂風格無疑都是能夠駕馭自如的，無論是演唱具有神秘韻致的新創歌曲，還是予人超凡美感的情歌，甚至是搖擺化的節奏歌曲，她都能以自己真誠、親切的詮釋風格贏得大家的喜愛。 Born in Newport News, VA, in 1944, Salena Jones (real name: Joan Elizabeth Shaw) would -- over the course of a 60-plus-year career -- become one of the leading vocalists of swing music, performing in a number of countries in Europe and Asia and recording a number of albums. Jones got her first break at the famed Apollo Theater in New York, winning a talent contest that resulted in a record deal. She spent the early part of her career touring and performing with such leading lights as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington. Her first forays overseas, to Spain and the U.K., were in the mid-'60s and were to begin a life spent mostly outside the rather fickle confines of the United States. In 1978, she made her first appearance in Japan and performed there on an annual basis. By the first decade of the 21st century, she had performed on most continents, recorded more than 40 albums, and sang at the 2006 Shanghai International Jazz Festival 更多>>
