Paloma Dineli Chesky: Memory

Jazz singer Paloma Dineli Chesky joins Vienna Live to present her new album, Memory.

"Memory marks her debut as a songwriter and it's an impressive outing. The melodies she's composed are exceptional: haunting and subtle, the way the best tunes are." — Downbeat ⭐⭐⭐⭐

NEW YORK CITY: it’s a rarity that a young singer with a distinctive voice knows that her future will focus on pursuing a musical journey that defies expectations or categories. “I don’t want to be put in a box,” says the vibrant, rising-star Paloma Dineli Chesky, who resides in New York City.

“I love pop music that is highly produced, but I've always loved jazz and the older artists who are timeless. I'm exploring at this point in my life, blending the two, trying to find a cohesive voice. This is who I am.” On her new recording Memory, the New York-based polymath and her band reveal her jazz-inflective acoustic side with six personal originals and three covers that are meaningful to her, some of which independently appear on YouTube as pop-driven versions. 

Memory marks the beginning of a long and winding crossover musical career for the hybrid vocalist/composer who possesses raw talent of power and emotional depth beyond her years.
