Poetry

🎙️Stacey Kent x Cully Jazz Festival 🔊
{| wordstobemusic | vol. IV}

When it comes to the contemporary vocal jazz scene, Stacey Kent's voice defines a slice of the game. Her instrument weaves delicate harmonies in the most traditional art of the genre. She brings poetry to the dance with influences from bossa nova and French songs and moves her audience in various languages, such as Portuguese, French, and English.

As a padawan jazz singer, visiting artists such as Stacy Kent feels like listening to a teacher of the art, and I am super excited to attend her show at the Cully Jazz Festival on April 6th, 2025.

Upon discovering Stacey Kent on the festival's program, I drove right into her career roots and | plume | popped up upon "There's a Lull In My Life"'s jazz embroideries.

where are you now
that our cloud took you away?
I wonder what is the path
part of your life now
if it's grey, if it's plume, 
a decay lost in its bloom,
or just a wait until we spring again.

where are you now
that our cloud took you away?
I'll be where our minds chant 
with our dancing leaves,
waiting for our paths to see
the bright sway they leave
in the air when they meet.

I wonder 
where are you now?
