Chiho Watanabe (Jazz Singer) Biography
Chiho became absorbed in singing and dancing when she was a
child, as she was dreaming of playing musical. In her 20fs,
she started singing jazz songs just when the songs of Ella Fitzgerald,
Sarah Vaughan , and Carmen McRae made her moved to tears.@She
felt the great jazz singers are gods, really. Then she went
to Yamaha music school, listened to records till those wore
down, and visited clubs with live music almost everyday. Her
days in her 20fs had been completely soaked in jazz. She was
shouting in herself, gI want to sing in front of people one
day!h After a while, finally she got a chance to sing. Since
then, she made the most of every chance to sing, paying no attention
to other things. Five years after she started singing, she made
her own CD in October 2006 by her brotherfs strong recommendation,
gWhy donft you record your songs as a memory?h Her first CD
was created with powerful support by Mr. Manabu Ooishi, tender
and funky jazz pianist, Mr. Makoto Saitoo, super veteran and
cheerful basist, Mr. Cecil Monroe, a creative drummer who has
remarkable sense of rhythm, and the other musicians. Mr. Shinpei
Inoue, one of the best flutists in the jazz world, assisted
her from producing to recording. This CD, gLike a loverh, has
become a heartfelt treasure for her and the musicians who casted
her dream into shape.

across genre.
