Discover The Amazing Talents Of Jane St. Clair

By Ida Dorsey


There are a few good female vocalists that you will enjoy discovering online. Jane St. Clair is a musician whose albums include the 2007 release "Stories". She writes the melodies and lyrics to her own songs as well as singing and playing the acoustic guitar on these tracks. Her records are available through CD Baby, Inc, the online music store that specializes in the retail of compositions by independent artists.

Jane is from California in the US. The melodies she creates are a combination of moods and lyricism, producing a sound that will appeal to those who enjoy jazz, jazz-pop and adult contemporary rock. People who like the sounds of Steely Dan, Feist or Diana Krall may well also appreciate this talented artist.

Inspirations that are revealed in this youthful woman's repertoire embrace James Taylor, Sting and Burt Bacharach. Jane has furthermore been understood to feel the influence of stars such as Carole King, Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell. The words bring to light a zeal for story-telling and free verse in the manner of Todd Rundgren, Carlos Jobim and Tom Waits.

A personal history starting with instruction in writing by the UNC - CH (University of N. Carolina) is clearly identifiable in the prominence of language palpable in Jane's music. Subsequent to Chapel Hill, Jane continued her studies in Boston, learning composition at Berklee College of Music. She expanded her musical knowledge at CalArts, taking advantage of the teachings of tutors including David Roitstein, James Newton, Paul Novros and Jon Bergamo.

There are many outstanding collaborators to "Stories", notably Ken Lasaine who helped to compose the emotional "Shower Into Gray" (a song devoted to those killed in the tragic events of 9/11), but also plays electric and classic guitar and the E-Bow. Other celebrated contributors on this album include Paul Litteral on horns and trumpet, Alan Pasqua on the keyboards, Danny Frankel on percussion and drums, Nedra Wheeler on the upright bass and Michael Manning on fretless bass. These instrumentalists have recorded and toured with top names with the status of Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, James Brown, Santana, kd lang and the B-52s.

Critics discuss the passionate efficiency, lilting voice and the silky gracefulness of the vocals on "Stories". People liken the songs to poetry synchronized with harmonies. Ingenuity and personality are attributes often recognized in St. Clair's imagery. The general impression is one of an inimitable crystal-clear quality which invigorates the soul.

The uniqueness is improved by the arts of Dan Garcia who was responsible for engineering and mixing the LP besides adding supplementary percussion, guitar and trumpet as well as the final vocals. Jane's profound foundation in language and compositional education has given her the ability to construct sincere ballads combining Latin American grooves, intuitive instrumentation, intelligent phrasings and jazz influences. The supplementation of a redolent, supple and attractive voice on top of this mixture creates a sure-fire recipe for chart success.

Whether you are after the touching melodies of her albums or various other musical genres, CD Baby has a host of sub-headings to choose from. Prices start as low as $5. Vinyl lovers can also find hidden treasures on the website. Scores of hopeful bands and artists begin their careers by promoting their material over the internet.
