LIVE! Bree Klauser

Artist: Bree Klauser

One of the problems I have with jazz and blues singers of old is that they don't rock the Trash Bar in Williamsburg. So we happily settled for an attractive blues/jazz/pop chanteuse, Bree Klauser, who playfully delivered lively melodies with a skilled combo of guitar/bass/drums/keys. We heard some nice bluesy guitar on My Cocaine (by another Klauser), jazzy drums on The Strain, rolling piano on Come My Way, and keyboards sounding a world music string/piano interplay on Isolde. Bree even unveiled a Christmas original that could go toe-to-toe with [read: break the monotony of] dusty standards on heavy mall rotation. Bree has a wonderful voice that can go anywhere and do anything. Her breathy instrument dances flirtatiously on jazz/blues-tinged pop songs you'll be adding to your iPod in time for Christmas shopping.
