Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I Always hear when you sigh Never in my wordland Could there be ways to reveal In a phrase how I feel Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic Music we make with our lips when we kiss And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet and we'll go Flyin' high in Birdland High in the sky up above All because we're in love Lullaby, lullaby.... Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic Music we make with our lips when we kiss And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet and we'll go Flyin' high in Birdland High in the sky up above All because we're in love

[@nicolaschevallierphotograp3922]

[@HomogenicK]

That Olympics song really didn't do her justice at all. This is exceptional.

[@user-iy4ld1rj5f]

지림

[@mrsevy2000]

her vibrato is so.. charasteric! how's she doing it?

[@dilsanozcan3418]

There is no space for vibrato to jazz. But yeah, she is great.

[@mrsevy2000]

Dilsan Ozcan whut? singer without vibrato (yes in the jazz genre,too) are kinda boring

[@AlexFoeNZ]

Look like Greg Phillinganes.. Not Quincy.. and is that Wooten on bass?

[@Gaenico]

No, it's Richard Bona.

[@DBenfordMusic]

Greg philinganes

[@evelyngarcia4675]

but...where's Mr. Quincy Jones, anyway?

[@ayrtonsouza6953]

Does someone know the name of the pianist?

[@seungminjung9553]

His name is Kevin Harris... I think...

[@TheNickzer]

Greg Phillinganes

[@DennisBayazitov]

Yeah well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

[@chucku00]

How do you spell Nikki Yanofsky ? Easy : P.U.R.E. T.A.L.E.N.T.

[@user-bv1vx3yd7k]

このジャズはおきにいりです😢😅❤

[@mac2920]

This is a nice twist on the arrangement-I like her voice but Liz Wright does it the best.

[@user-qu8bi6wi5z]

연주랑 보컬이랑 따로 플레이하는거 같아요

[@arnborj]

Not bad for seventeen but way to go. Hang in there kid! :-)

[@aprilsir]

There is no such things: voice for jazz. This perfomance is not perfect. May be she was somehow constrained and worried. But there are some more video with Nikky and this admirable song on KZbin. See Raw Session for example. Artist's way neither is straightforward as "broadway" nor as lightweight as feather. It's a real life, man. Well, is your voice good enough to make people paid for it? ))

[@Ysendrin]

Your ear isn't for jazz.

[@MrNB023]

Yea on an earlier clip, with her at the age of 14, she was way more attuned to the jazzfeel of singing. She's lost the feel of improvisation already here, it seems. She doesn't accentuate her singing besides a kind of gospel/soul-esc moaning in the voice which symbolizes every accent she makes. Nor does she use staccato rhytmic impressions quite as well. Shame to see someone slip from the path of jazz, but especially for the singers it's a difficult path.

[@preckle]

I agree, she was better when she has younger. The band here are great but she doesn't sound very authentic.

[@itsabe11]

Nice. But her voice is not for jazz.

[@lilidane8975]

What a dumb comment

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Jazz is forever evolving. Otherwise it becomes like classical music, fit for museums. Her voice is perfect for modern jazz

[@fatpat4052]

always the same way to sing

[@MaryEssence]

badly
