FAY VICTOR QUINTET

Fay Victor, born in Trinidad and raised in New York City, has her own special way of handling a repertoire that includes a beautiful selection out of ’the great American songbook’ but also origigals and new arrangements of lesser known pieces like Herbie Nichols’ House Party Starting. ‘She applies freedom and improvisation and constantly attacks her songs from unexpected directions, a singer who takes chances’. (Cadence Magazine). ‘Fay Victor is a thinking person’s jazz vocalist’. (allaboutjazz.com-March 2002).
