Brul\ufffde, featuring Julie Weiner&#8217;s beautiful and iconic vocals and Doug Onstad&#8217;s compositions &amp; piano interpretations, leads the listener on a musical journey of unspoken thoughts, warmth and longing from the caf\ufffds of Paris to the expansive landscape of the American song.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Brul\ufffde has created a breezy and uplifting contribution, truly jazz with a twist. Weiner uses every range of her voice to engage the listener with scatting, top register flights and articulate delivery of witty lyrics. Onstad, also a contributing vocalist to this savory offering, has a familiar and inviting style; the two create a delightful journey with a cavalcade of guest artists. Each cut is accessibly smart and creatively entertaining in a convivial setting, a perfect release to brighten your day and put a skip in your step.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Julie Weiner is a born vocalist who comes from a family of singers and musicians. Julie is also an exceptional dancer and veteran of theater, especially musical comedy, and reveals her love of lyric and melody with captivating tenderness and a heart full of soul. She has a voice that is at once technically spot on and capable of improvisation and searing emotional declaration. Julie has a nearly three octave range and a tone of crystalline clarity, yet deep, sultry resonance in her lower range.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Doug Onstad, who has arranged all of the duo&#8217;s piano interpretations, knows how to hold the gorgeous melodies of the pair&#8217;s song book in chordal inventions that are at once classic and adventurous. Julie and Doug also perform some of Doug&#8217;s own compositions that have grown out of Doug&#8217;s love for American music: jazz, rock, classical and R&amp;B.<\/p>\n<p><font><br \/><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BruleeNew Beginnings 2010 &#8211; Owl Productions Evoking the timeless composers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5102\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
