The women of jazz - JOYCE E. YUILLE
31 August 2022
Position: Arena Parco delle Rose
9.30 pm - Free entrance
Gospel, soul, blues and jazz: this is the background of Joyce Yuille, New York-based artist and entertainer of the highest calibre. Her vocal talents are able to strike even the most refined spectator, but at the same time communicate to the entire audience, the great energy and passion of this singer.
Joyce is a high-class performer who brings to the music the dynamism and vocal expressiveness most authentically linked to the jazz language of the black matrix, tinged with soul, a sense of the blues and an enthralling rhythmic and interpretative verve. Her singing career has grown to the point of taking her on stage with the great international names of the Soul, Jazz and Pop scene such as Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Randy Crawford, Ronan Keating, Sister Sledge, Dee Dee Bridgewater and many others.
Joyce continues to prove her prowess in the jazz, soul and blues music scene by working with top international musicians, participating in festivals such as Umbria Jazz Festival, Treviso Blues Festival, MARAJAZZ
