With her easy, flowing voice and her scatting skills, New Orleans-based singer Cyrille Aimée is accomplished in the jazz manouche style. She was even born to a French father and Dominican mother in the same town as Django Reinhardt, who brought that style of music to the world. She’s won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Competition and Montreux Jazz Fest Competition, and she’s been nominated for a Grammy.

Aimeé performed in the 2013 New York City Center Production of “A Bed and a Chair: A New York Love Story,” along with Broadway stars like Bernadette Peters, Jeremy Jordan, Norm Lewis.
