Standley, Rosemary: A Queen of Hearts

Standley, Rosemary

JV 570127.28

A Queen of Hearts pays tribute to the glamour and to the melancholy elegance of the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holiday and Nancy Sinatra. Filmed and faithfully reproduced on DVD, the show directed by Juliette Deschamps has found its natural extension in the private realm of the CD. Underpinned by Sylvain Griotto's agile accompaniment, Rosemary Standley's exquisite voice riffles, like a genuine queen of hearts, through a top quality songbook which skips from classical music to jazz and French chanson and includes some big names: Kurt Weill, Gershwin, Nina Simone... French-American singer Rosemary Standley is the vocalist in the multinational France-based alt-folk band Moriarty, whose recent fourth release Epitaph was acclaimed in the Guardian as 'classy, eclectic Americana'. She also sings in Birds On A Wire, a duo with the Brazilian musician Dom La Nena.
