JIFF: Classic Southside Music — Alma Zygier (Extended Set)

The Story

Alma Zygier has been fascinated by the pre war era of Jazz and blues; the singers, Ella Fitzgerald, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Memphis Minnie, & the Broadway composers who largely provided the repertoire, Gershwin, Kern, Porter, Rodgers.

She has a voice from another era & brings an emotional maturity to her performance that belies her years. Alma Zygier will bring her American Songbook repertoire to the the 21st century alongside some Jewish favourites for a special extended set for JIFF audiences.
