Cyrille Aimée
 Cyrille Aimée
(pronounced Surreal M - A) has consistently
proven herself to be an unstoppable, undeniable
talent in the modern age of jazz.
Internationally renowned and praised for her
unparalleled abilities, Cyrille's vocal stylings
are synonymous with musical genius. Her
culturally rich background has supplied her with
the driving force of Dominican rhythm and the
incredible swing of the French Gypsies. Taking
these natural abilities with her across the
world, she has done nothing short of receiving
rave reviews and a loyal following in each
country she graces with her voice.
Cyrille mastered the art of improvisation while
studying at the well known conservatory of jazz
at SUNY Purchase, with teachers such as Pete
Malinverni, Jon Faddis and Jimmy Greene.
Cyrille Aimée was a finalist in the prestigious
Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition of 2010,
performing in front of a jury of Al Jarreau,
Kurt Elling, Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee
Bridgewater... In 2007, Cyrille won both the
first and public prize in the Montreux Jazz
Festival Competition.
Cyrille's discography and musical history is an
impressive list for any musician, jazz or
otherwise. At the young age of 26, she has
already released four CDs internationally,
including "Cyrille Aimée & The Surreal Band"
and "Smile" with Brazilian guitarist Diego
Figueiredo currently on iTunes.
The Japanese label Venus Records has just
released Cyrille and Diego’s latest duo album
“Just the Two of us” this past November.
Cyrille Aimée has been featured on compilations,
feature film soundtracks across the globe and on
the albums of Denis Chang and David Reinhardt.
She fronted France's latest worldwide sensation
'Caravan Palace' on their European tour and
performed in front of crowds that number over
10,000 people.
Cyrille currently lives in Brooklyn and
regularly performs in Manhattan with legends of
the East Coast
jazz scene. She can be found any given day in
the historic jazz clubs of NYC, including Joe’s
Pub and Dizzy's Club, with musicians like Steve
Davis, Spike Wilner, Tom Kennedy and Anat Cohen
among many others.

Live at Smalls” features Roy Hargrove and Joel
Frahm and is released under the label
