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.
Her latest record “Cyrille Aimée &
friends Live at Smalls” features Roy Hargrove
and Joel Frahm and is released under the label
SmallsLIVE.
