Music Moves CD (2005)
Clairdee albums No less than the illustrious Nancy Wilson has said of the soulful and jazzy force of interpretive nature called Clairdee, "In the tradition of all great vocalists, she infuses each song with her own unique style while always remaining true to the song itself." That dead-on assessment applies to her two studio albums on Declare Music, and extends to the new disc, a rich and multi-faceted live performance the singer did ...

Destination Moon CD (2000)
Clairdee discography A vocalist choosing to perform a program of standards in a laid-back, relaxed manner had better have the chops to sustain slow tempos since there's nowhere to hide. Clairdee, one of the very fine singers now working out of the San Francisco area, pulls this off going away. With her husky, deep-toned contralto, she runs through a musical agenda of 11 standards and near standards. All the usual adjectives rightfully apply ...

Plugged In CD (1997)
Clairdee songs Greatly influenced by Sarah Vaughan and sometimes sounding a bit Anita Baker-ish in her phrasing, San Francisco singer Clairdee plays it much too safe on the conventional and derivative Plugged In. Clairdee (who is backed by the Bay Area rhythm team of pianist John Moriarty, bassist Ruth Davies and drummer Deszon Claiborne) has a likable voice and is pleasant enough on such standards as "Body and Soul" and "Just Friends," but ...

West Coast Alternative CD (2001)
Arranger/trumpeter Dan Buegeleisen sought to escape from the usual big-band sound on this CD by utilizing funk and even hip-hoppish rhythms in spots along with some unusual harmonies. His northern California ensemble still sounds like a big band and swings in spots, but does have a more contemporary sound. Major assets on this set are the two vocals by Kitty Margolis (on "My Shining Hour" and a mildly demented "It Never Entered My Mind") and Clairdee's singing on "I Wish I Knew." Otherwise, the music is comprised entirely of Buegeleisen's originals. Key soloists include the leader on trumpet, tenor saxophonist Mike Zilber, trombonist Dave Eshelman, and trumpeter Chuck MacKinnon. ...
