You won't find Brigitte Zarie on the pop charts.
That's because she's a jazz singer.
Brigitte Zarie hails from Canada, where Diana Krall, and earlier honoree on this blog, is from, and she settled in New York in 1995 to pursue her singing career. She sings in English, French and Portuguese, a clear sign of her versatility.
Although she's been active in jazz since the mid-nineties, she didn't record her first album until 2009 - Make Room For Me, which was obviously an appropriate title. Her follow-up, L'Amour, was released in 2013.
Ms. Zarie is not a singer who relies on the old standards; she writes her own material, including such songs as "Happiest Day Of My Life," The Story Of Love" and "Call On Love" from her first album and "Quiet Nights," "Nobody Else" and "How Can It Hurt" from her second. Go to her Web site for more information.
As you can tell by the first letter of Brigitte Zarie's surname, I'm ending my fifth series on beautiful women in music here (and by the way, it is the last day of the month). The sixth series will come soon enough.
