DJ for a Day: Cyrille Aimée

Jazz vocalist Cyrille Aimée's new record, "It's a Good Day"  has been released to much critical acclaim. According to Nate Chinen of The New York Times, on this new album Aimée showcases her "sweet, girlish voice that she controls with a sniper’s precision." 

On her new album, Aimée's influences are apparent, as she blends the American songbook with her French-Dominican roots. This fusion is evident on several tracks from her new record.

Friday at 11AM, Aimée visits The Jonathan Channel and plays the music that has inspired her. Naturally, you'll hear French legends Django Reinhardt and Edith Piaf but Aimée will play a lot of modern French music too. Tune in for an education in contemporary French music and learn even more about gypsy jazz with Cyrille Aimée.
