STT Comments
A song is worth a thousand words so check out her video and myspace page for a listen. Alejandra’s voice ranges from husky to smooth and smokey. In addition, she delivers her music with a strong, personable stage presence and great emotion. She sings her original works and a few classics in both English and Spanish.
The pieces you will hear move from modern alternative, to traditional spanish-influenced pieces to a jazz format.
Joel Visentin (piano), Ben McConchie (trumpet) and Charles James (standup bass) are the members of her band. In addition to vocals and composition, Alexandra plays acoustic guitar on many of her pieces.
There is no question, if you like what you hear on her myspace page, you will love her live.
