Getting To Know...KimRichardsonI read that youlearned French asa foreign language,why did you decidethat you wanted tolearn French andmove to Montreal?The decision wasnot easy. It was a lotof work. But it is more difficult to find a job inToronto. You have to go to British Columbia,or Hallifax. You don’t make a lot of moneyin Toronto. And rents are expensive. Mymom used to sing Gospel at the St JamesChurch. And in 1988, she invited me to sharethe stage with her. It was for the Christmasconcert. After that concert, I got a lot of callsfor other concerts and auditions in Montreal.I went in tour with Richard Seguay, RochVoisine… But work was in French most ofthe time. So I decided to learn French tounderstand what I was singing about andtalk with the audience.Your last album, Mes Amours, is inFrench. What are your feelings aboutsinging in French? Is it a differentemotion to sing in English or in French?Is it a different anxiety before you go onstage? What would you say about yourperformances in French and in English?I still have an accent, and I believeit’s lovely. Even though one cannot hearit when I sing as a chorister. Then it’s achallenge, entering the arena. I was soscared at the beginning, because I didn’tunderstand “French French”. Now I feelmore comfortable. It’s another way ofsinging. When I sing Blues, Gospel, Soul, Ising in English. I sing Pop and Jazz in French.You have a lot of different interests:jazz, blues, r&b, even pop, rock, countryand classical! Usually people may likeseveral kinds of music, but specializeinto 2 or 3 ones. It makes you one of akind as an artist! What can you tell meabout this?I love all the music.Classical touches me a lot. I’ve tried tomake classical, but barely. Because it callsdeep emotions. And I don’t want to makea fake.I love Rock, Rap, Jazz, Gospel, Funk.It’s impossible to choose. I’m happy andgrateful that my voice enables me to singeverything. I have fun, I enjoy myself and Itry to please everyone. I don’t want to lockmyself into one style. I want to try and doeverything I can. I work that way.Then it’s a challenge. It’s very boring tomake always the same things.You have shared the stage withboth your mom and aunt. How was theexperience? Do you feel more relaxed?Or do you work even more? Do youkeep the family link “alive” or is it veryprofessional?It’s easier. The blend comes fast. We don’thave to work a lot to do good together. Thejob is to learn the lyrics. Working togetheris like putting old slippers on. It’s good,it’s delightful. It’s a gift to be able to singwith my family. There’s no perfect word todescribe it. It works and it’s good. No needto ask complicated questions. It vibrates andresonates, it’s fantastic. We are professionalsingers, so it’s not difficult. We know howthings work. Unfortunately it doesn’t happenoften enough.Are you planning to perform togetheragain soon?I wish we can! But we all have very busyschedules. It’s complicated. It would beeasier to do in Toronto.You come from a very artistic family.Your mom Jackie and your aunt Betty arestarring singers and actresses. Do youthink you could have done somethingelse than singing and playing? Howmuch have they influenced your life?No, music is my life. It could be somethingelse if related with music. Like singinglessons, or choral direction. Music is mypassion.When I was younger, I loved dance. Butit gets difficult when you get older. Musiccan last longer. I hope that my son and mydaughter will pass on the baton.As a child, I was surrounded by music. Mygrand-parents, my mom and dad, my unclesand aunts (both maternal and paternalsides): music lovers everywhere. There wasalways a vinyl playing, or the radio on.When I was 3 years old, I had alreadylearnt fully a lot of songs. And not only thelead voices. I was immersed in the music.It was natural, a sign from heaven. It gotclear very early in my life. I found my wayimmediately.My first concerts were in the pubs, withmy aunt when I was 14. There was no danger,www.torontobluessociety.comno trouble. My mom let me make my way. Inever gave up on music, even with school.I got up early, got back late. My schooltranscript was not very good, but I wouldn’tstop making music. That’s all.Who are the others artists who had animpact on your life and career? Have youmet some of them personally?Tina Turner. She’s such a strong woman.She went through difficult times but keptgoing anyway. It’s incredible what she didwith her career. Her shows are impressive.I have attended one in Montreal.Stevie Wonder. I’m a huge fan.Aretha Franklin of course.And my mom. She inspired me a lot.I have much respect for all of those artists.But my main influences come from my momand Tina. Her strength is beautiful to watch.They are number 1.What’s your best memory on stage orright after a concert?There are so many!The first time that I sang with GregoryCharles. It was in 2006 at the Bell Centrein Montreal. I got a huge success with thesong “I think of you”. Greg had asked me forsinging this song. He said, “Sing it for me”.The room was completely quiet. I thoughtof my grand-ma and I cried. The applausewas touching and wonderful. It was a verystrong emotion.Right now, at the St Denis Theatre. Samething. I give everything, I cry sometimes.And standing ovations often happen. Theyare one of the most beautiful times in my life.It’s touching, it’s beautiful.Then I have a lot of moments with mymom. It always gets emotional. Everybodylikes the chemistry between the two of us.With my mom, it always works, it’s alwaysgood. A Gospel album from us together isgoing to come out at the end of September,“Never can break my faith”.Your last album came out in August2011. 2 years ago! So, what about thenext one?!!I haven’t got time to think about the nextalbum. Maybe next year, maybe in 2015.One thing is certain, it will move more.Something more rhythmic. The last one wassmooth and jazzy. But it doesn’t represent allof me. So next time it can be anything. But Ihaven’t thought about it yet, nor talked aboutit with the production company.My schedule is so crazy. I am veryhappy…- Vinciane JacquetMapleBlues October 2013 5

VoxxyLadyHi and welcome to the first edition of myvoice column! I polled friends and fellowsingers for an amusing handle and thanks toAilsa McCreary, “Voxxy Lady” it is! Kicking offthis inaugural column is a late-night plea from(barely) managing editor of Maple Blues, BrianBlain, who writes:Dear Voxxy Lady: I could use a little vocalhealth tip right now...Tomorrow I’m headingout on a two week tour (Man & Sask) and I thinkI’m getting a cold. Argh!Dear BB: Oh, no! My sympathies! I knowthat sinking feeling of having an importantshow or tour coming up and you feel thosefirst scary signs of a cold. Although a curefor the common cold still eludes the medicalworld, many people have their pet remediesto help them cope with or shorten the coldcycle. Since you’re a singer, I would suggestyou act fast and put your faith in some as-yetcontroversial remedies.1. Vitamin C: Linus Pauling was a Nobellaureate and considered by some to be oneof the top 20 greatest scientists of all time.In 1971, Pauling came out with a groundbreakingbook called Vitamin C and theCommon Cold. His position was that takingmega-doses of vitamin C could both preventcolds and alleviate their symptoms and hehimself took 18 grams a day. Pauling wasridiculed for his beliefs and regarded asa quack. Years after his demise, the tablesturned, and the buzz was that Pauling waspossibly right all along. So, depending whichside of the fence you’re on (and I’m withPauling), you might want to start pumping inthe vitamin C to the tune of 500 mgs per hour.(note: good quality, natural source is best.)2. Garlic, Echinacea, and Zinc: Accordingto the Cold Centre at Cardiff University, freshgarlic has anti-viral properties, Echinaceastimulates white blood cell activity, and zinclozenges taken at the start of a cold mayshorten the course of symptoms.3. SinuCleanse®: I swear by this product.The company markets it as a “centuriesoldpractice” and “an all natural way toimmediately relieve congestion and sinussymptoms without drugs, drugs interactionsor drug side effects.” I don’t go anywherewithout my SinuCleanse® Squeeze®. If you’resqueamish, you may not want to know that thepressure you can get with the Squeeze® is itsmost compelling feature. The substance usedto irrigate the nasal passages is saline-based.My own experience is that I’ve significantlyaborted or shortened cold symptoms byusing SinuCleanse® a few times daily asneeded. Hint: you don’t have to buy the prepackagedsaline mixture. I make my ownby combining a dime-sized portion each ofbaking soda and sea salt. You can also add acouple of drops of eucalyptus. Good luck, BB!We’re rooting for you here at home!Dear Voxxy Lady: I’ve been working onmy vibrato and I’m at an impasse. I seem tobe able to make it happen when I sing in my“sweet” voice, but when I sing in a “raunchier”earthier voice, I can’t get it unless I force it. ThenI usually end up with a sore throat. What am Idoing wrong?Pained and ConfusedDear P and C:Ah, yes, vibrato. For many who sing, it’sas mysterious as the Beale Ciphers. Withoutgoing into too much detail, it can be saidthat vibrato isn’t something that you DO, it’ssomething that HAPPENS. It’s a bi-productof a happy larynx (voice box) and a happylarynx is a larynx free of tension. So, strictlyspeaking, vibrato occurs when the vocal foldsare free to move at a consistent rate. It’s notevoked by moving the abdomen, movingthe jaw, or moving the muscles in the neck.What’s probably happening is that when youuse your “sweet” voice, your larynx is happyand free, but when you use your “raunchy”voice, there is tension that’s clamping theaction of the folds. Consistent vibrato is a mustin classical singing, but non-classical singing(blues, jazz, soul, folk, etc.) is usually markedby a “straighter” sound because the voice isoften lower, heavier, and earthier. Naturallyoccurringvibrato occurs at the rate of 6-7times per second. When it’s slower than that,it’s called a “wobble”(e.g. the ballad singingof blues high priestess Ernestine Anderson);when it’s faster, it’s called a “tremolo” (e.g.Tiny Tim--remember him? He “tremoloed”all the way to the bank). As a singer, you’lldecide how much vibrato you want in yoursound by adjusting the relative amounts ofyour registers (that’s another conversation).We can simplify by saying “adjusting theheaviness” of your voice. The sore throat isno doubt happening because of the tensionyou’re using to try to get a vibrato. Think aboutit, and good luck!“Voxxy Lady” is the handle (bestowedon her by fellow singer Ailsa McCreary) ofrecording artist, songwriter and York UniversityJazz Vocal Instructor, Rita di Ghent.

Illustration by Nathaniel MesnerMonkeyJunk All Frequencies StonyPlain/WarnerMonkeyJunk garnered so much buzzwhen they were formed that they werenominated for Best New Artist evenbefore their first CD was released. Whenit was released it won them multipleawards. Each new disc since then hasshown a dramatic development in styleand performance and each has beenrewarded with yet more awards. Theywere presenters at the last JUNO Awardsceremony and All Frequencies just mightget them to perform at it this time. Thetitle could refer to the eclectic nature ofthe new songs, with a less overt bluesflavour than before. In fact the basic feelof the disc is distinctly blues-rock butwith easily enough blues to keep it inthis column. It’s worth commenting I thinkthat on To Behold individual songwritingcredits were all carefully assigned, hereall the original songs are credited to theband, an indication perhaps of unity ofpurpose.They don’t need any guests as thistrio does it all: Steve Marriner on leadvocals, baritone guitar, keys and lots ofharp, Tony D on guitars, with lots of slide;and Matt Sobb on beautifully recordeddrums. Marriner’s new baritone guitargives all frequencies another meaning,nailing down that all-important bass partmost effectively. Great pains were takento prepare a fully analogue recordingand that care was obviously extendedto what was being recorded as well. Justlisten to the opening song, “You Make AMess (of me)”. It’s a very full sound withMarriner’s guitar fed through a Leslieover Sobb’s pounding drums. Tony D’sfills grow into a masterful wah wah solo,short & sharp - a rocking way to begin.They term their music swamp blues and“Right From Wrong” certainly fits thatdescription, with Marriner’s harp andTony D’s slide combining for a sound thatbrings Stevie Ray Vaughan to mind. Theonly cover is Bobby Charles’ “Why ArePeople Like That?”, which gets the kindof power-filled arrangement that onlyMonkeyJunk could provide.A little bit of funk comes up next with“Je Nah Say Kwah”, with Marriner on keysas well. As for the title, it is phoneticallywhat he sings if not what it should be,perhaps it’s an Ottawa joke. “Sirens InThe Night” has a more ambitious lyric,about coping with modern city life, andgets some serious production work,with background vocals and multipleoverdubs giving it the appropriate sonicbackdrop.Matt Chaffey gets a writing co-credit.Paul Reddick gets a co-write as well forthe one slow song on this rocking set:“Once Had Wings” clearly shows Paul’sinfluence, giving the set list a bit of adifferent feel. “(You Want) What I Got ToGive” is a highlight, a slide-driven bluesburner. The CD Release Party for us herein Toronto is at Hugh’s Room on Friday,October 18 th - you will need a reservation.Rachelle van Zanten Oh Mother RvZThe title of guitarist/singer vanZanten’s third solo disc covers threedifferent themes: saving Mother Earth,lamenting the loss of her mother andthe fact that she has become a motherherself. Her new songs show how thesethree themes are interwoven. The title ofthe current tour is “I Fight For Life”, one ofthe songs on the CD, a song that asks herfans to stand up to the corporate giantsthat want to destroy the landscape forresource extraction, an especially majorproblem around her northern BC home.A life closer to nature is reflected in thelovely acoustic settings of these songs,a delightful song about the communityhelping her build her “Log Cabin”being a perfect example. Award-winningproducer and multi-instrumentalist JobyBaker returns to cloth these songs withjust the right colours, some cello here,some background vocals there andbeautifully recorded acoustic guitar fromRachelle to create the aural equivalent ofthat life. The song “Oh Mother” opens thedisc and its lament for a mother leavingtoo soon is even more poignant in thissetting.“My Troubled Town” is a hard-hittingblues about what has happened thereand why the fight is so important. LesterQuitzau lends a hand on electric slide.He returns for “I Want To Feel Right”, anelectric rocker with Baker on drums andkeys. “Slip Back” features van Zanten’sown roaring slide. “The Canoe Song”returns to acoustic and rural bliss butbuilds to a climax with traditional sweetdrums and an inspirational reading byLillian Campbell that make her wantto paddle on, to fight what is happening.“Beach Fire”, with Rachelle on piano, is atender ballad about what her world andthat of her child would be like after thefight is won. The booklet kindly provideslyrics for all the songs. Her web site iswww.rachellevanzanten.com and you’llsee there that she’ll be bringing hercrusade to the Women’s Blues Revue onNov. 30 th .Layla Zoe The Lily Cable CarLayla Zoe’s The Lily continues hercollaboration with the German multiinstrumentalistHenrik Freischladerand his Cable Car Records. She is in facttouring there with him until just beforeher appearance at our Women’s BluesRevue on Nov. 30. The opener, though, is astunning a capella performance of “GloryGlory Hallelujah”, a better display of hervoice would be hard to imagine. Thisalbum too is dedicated to mother and “In12 MapleBlues October 2013 www.torontobluessociety.com

Her Mother’s House”, is a place where‘she’, the song is written in the thirdperson, feels safe. Freischlader suppliedthe music for Zoe’s lyrics and pulls out allthe stops on guitars, drums and bass onthis rocker, with Moritz Fuhrhop, fromhis band, adding keys. After this, shereturns to her specialty – singing aboutthe men in her life. “Green-Eyed Lover”is a particularly good song and the nextone, “Gemini Heart”, a fine slow blues.Freischlader contributes a particularlyfine guitar solo.An even better slow blues is “Father”,an impassioned plea to a (her?) missingone. “The Lily”, the epic centerpieceof the album, is a beautiful ballad thatbuilds on the child’s prayer ‘If I shoulddie…’. It is some of her finest writingand Freischlader’s music is suitablyunderstated. Her last words will have tosuffice: “Remember the Lily, and let mego”. The hard rock returns with “I ChooseYou”, instead of her life as a wild child.“They Lie” continues a theme from thelast album, the attack on big oil, “BlackOil”, as she also attacks the corporategiants. The album concludes with aversion of Neil Young’s “Hey, Hey, My,My”. Freischlader can play Neil Youngguitar in his sleep and this may well havebeen his idea. This disc is an importantdevelopment for Ms. Zoe, her singing andsongwriting are better than ever, I hopethis collaboration can continue. Her website, www.layla.ca, is probably the bestplace to get this CD before she gets toMassey Hall.harp and accordion. If you’re not dancing,there’s something wrong. “SanctuaryCity” is quite a bit more serious, andambitious. Occasionally breaking intofalsetto, Jerome uses his own history topoint out that we all need a safe place togo to sometimes. The song uses CannedHeat’s “On The Road Again” to reinforcethe point along with some nice tempochanges.“Jerry Stone” was Jerome’s contributionto a Brokenjoe album, a reunion withPhantoms bandmate Joe Toole from acouple of years back. It gets a bluesierarrangement here. “She’s Got The Goods”is raw Chicago blues, live off the floor andworth every minute. A different kind ofsound is next with “Lord Show Me How(to keep a woman)”, a lovely gospel tunewith accordion and tremolo-laden guitarbacking one of Jerome’s finest vocals.“New Year’s Eve” is a power ballad withJerome on chromatic, remembering awalk in the snow that night.“Mon Amie” channels the earlyFabulous Thunderbirds on a nifty littlerocker. Jerome isn’t afraid to use personalmatters in his songs as we all know bynow and dealing with anger gets a getsa solid groove in “The Blues Travel ThruMe”, making it an album highlight. “WhyDon’t You Love Me?” closes the disc inrocking fashion with a driving guitar partfrom Eric Schenkman and a fine harpsolo. Jerome is in excellent voice, withnew songs to show off his consummateharp skills, go to www.jeromegodboo.com to see where he’s playing nextand make sure get your copy, you’ll beneeding it.some overdubbing, and applause is keptto a minimum. A gorgeous, strippeddowncountry blues greets you whenyou pop it into the player, based on the“Dust My Broom” riff and incorporatingsome traditional phrases in the tellingof a story about a trip to the biggest cityin the world.“The Devil Likes To Win” has Terry onguitar and harmonica, Peter Measrochon piano, Lyndell Montgomery on bassand Wayne Stoute on percussion. Theyare all longtime Gillespie accompanistsand it shows. “What Would Bo DiddleyDo” is how Gillespie says he deals withlife’s problems - I think I might try it!An object lesson in playing traditionalmaterial is “Early In The Morning”, justa lovely performance. Some funky NewOrleans sounds grace a song about“My Tipitina”, with trumpet and vocaloverdubs, probably making it ratherdifferent from what the audience heardthat night. “Let’s Get Together” is in thestyle of his “Brother To The Blues” from acouple of years ago and welcome it is. Hemay be preaching to the converted butit needs saying. “My Mama” is anothertraditional slow blues and equally welldone. Measroch’s piano leads on theoriginal “It Wasn’t Me” with Gillespie’svocals catching the ‘of course it was me’tone perfectly.Back to New Orleans for ProfessorLonghair’s “She Walks Right In”,Measroch carries the load just fine. “TheDevil Likes To Win Reprise” appears tobe the same performance, allowed torun a minute and a half longer. TerryGillespie has been called “Mr. Groove”and that certainly applies to the songshere.He’ll be debuting them at the Dominionon Queen on Nov. 23 rd , until then you cancheck out www.terrygillespie.ca.-John Valenteynjvalenteyn8724@rogers.comJerome Godboo Sanctuary City SelfA new CD by one of our mostaccomplished harp players is alwaysan event.
