Post Description

Susie Arioli is a Canadian jazz singer from Montreal. She has been nominated for three Juno Awards.

Arioli had been singing in jazz clubs in Montreal when she met guitar player Jordan Officer at a jam led by Stephen Barry. Together they started the Susie Arioli Band. Their first big opportunity came in 1998 when after a successful outdoor show they were asked by the Montreal International Jazz Festival to open for Ray Charles. Their opening set got the attention of Montreal critics and soon after they released their first CD, It's Wonderful.

While she and her group specialize in swing music from the 1930s and 1940s, they are not averse to seguing into the blues and Western swing. Every now and then you hear a tune from her that Connie Francis and Joni James might have sung in the 1950s. 
Arioli is a straightforward singer, avoiding scatting and other vocal gymnastics. Her satiny tone, perfect phrasing, her way with the lyrics, and ability to tell a story combined with an infectious mood of excitement, enthusiasm, and old-fashioned fun bode well for a rewarding future as a singer of good music.
