   Introducing Annemarie Nelson

New Zealand singer Annemarie Nelson has been performing as a vocalist and keyboard player for the past 20 years covering the jazz and pop genres. She has recently come to Melbourne to further her career and is currently working on her long awaited new CD.

Annemarie has a smooth sultry voice that makes heads turn.  This Kiwi has - in the short time she's been here - made Melbournians stop in their tracks - and take note of her perfect pitch, beautiful phrasing and articulation.  Here is a woman that can create an intimate atmosphere at a restaurant, a great party at a wedding, or a concert, with her enchanting stage presentation.

From Diana Krall to Sting, Annemarie performs well-known melodic jazz standards and popular tunes. As a soloist, she accompanies herself on the keyboard and sometimes adds in a double bass. She is also seen with bigger groups with
keyboard/guitar, double bass and drums.

Some quotes - to give you an idea about what people say:

"Absolutely awesome, easy listening, very talented young lady. Would be an asset to any jazz, easy listening venue".
"Was enjoying the company of family at a bar, and when the music stopped I realised it was the music setting the atmosphere. Wonderful sound and presentation".  
"I very much enjoyed listening to your singing at the "Blue Note"...many thanks for a great evening of jazz..."

Review from the Otago (NZ) Festival of the Arts Bernard Madill:

"Annemarie Nelson performed with a stylish an easy stage manner that relaxed the audience and won it over to silence with a very moving performance of Cry Me A River ...I recommend her to anyone seeking an evening of fine jazz singing.."
