Alita Dupray, live and on demand
posted by Brian Nation
 Vocalist Alita Dupray is one of Vancouver's best-kept secrets. (I've never really understood what that phrase means, but . . . well, there you have it.) She's got a beautiful, rich voice that delivers swinging and emotionally charged lyrics with a maturity that belies her tender years. She's a "secret" because her rare appearances have, for the most part, been in lounges and restaurants around town, although she has performed at the Jazz Cellar and several times at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Plus, she has yet to release an album.This last fact is at least temporarily compensated by the CBC's having posted an entire set from her concert at Studio One as part of the jazz festival this past June. Go to Concerts On Demand: Alita Dupray to listen. You can also check her out live this weekend. Alita's trio with James Forrest on bass and Bruno Hubert, piano, play O'Doul's starting tonight (July 24) through to Saturday. O'Doul's is located at 1300 Robson, corner of Jervis in Vancouver's West End. Music starts at 9PM and goes till midnight. Post comments in the Jazz Forum |
