We had the pleasure of interviewing Nikki Yanofsky over Zoom video!Montreal based jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky returns today with the release of her new album ‘Nikki By Starlight' via MNRK Music Group – a 15-track voyage through vintage jazz standards from storied musicians Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and more. ‘Nikki By Starlight' was co-produced with the JUNO-winning producer/composer Paul Shrofel and features contributions from Stevie Wonder's bandmate Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson) and the iconic Cuban-American jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.Yanofsky recorded these songs on a vintage RCA 77C, the microphone that was used by Ella Fitzgerald. Yanofsky's transportive musical touch brings the Great American Songbook into the 21st century, providing a chance for new audiences and existing fans alike to fall in love with a refreshed style.Ultimately, ‘Nikki By Starlight' is a mix of ballads, uptempo tracks and sambas that make you believe in teleportation. “Comes Love” has a real slinky vibe reminiscent of an old-fashioned speakeasy, “C'est Si Bon'' is a nod to 1960s Paris with a very classic French arrangement, “West Coast Blues'' features a pocketed ensemble with Greg Phillinganes on organ and a Lalo Schifrin inspired horn solo, and “Estate” is an Italian classic featuring Arturo Sandovel's signature trumpet.With ‘Nikki By Starlight,' Yanofsky continues to prove her artistry – stemming all the way back to when she sang the National Anthem on live television at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver in front of 3.2 billion people. Yanofsky's self-titled album ‘Nikki,' released in 2010, gained the attention of the late prolific songwriter Rod Temperton (“Thriller,” “Rock With You,” “Boogie Nights”), who took her under his wing becoming her mentor, creative coach and musical champion. Her sophomore effort Little Secret, found Yanofsky exploring the velvet-clad sweet spot between jazz and pop with bold sentiments that signaled a self-assured coming of age. In 2020 she released ‘Turn Down The Sound,' a 10-track LP (eOne Music) that showcases her independence and marks a newfound departure for her career as a young musician, earning praise upon release from Billboard, Uproxx, and more.We want to hear from you!

The Roches' 1990 We Three Kings is the Christmas album you'd expect from the folk trio as sing a set of holiday classics gorgeously, often a cappella, and occasionally with their tongues ever so delicately in their cheeks.  Terre Roche remembers their Christmas shows, the Caroling Carolers, and getting shooed off the sidewalk in front of Trump Tower in a conversation about singing with her sisters. The occasion for the conversation is Christmas and the release of Kin Ya See That Sun by Terre and Maggie Roche. It's a book that reflects on their first foray into the music business with humbling results. Terre talks about being young women in music in the early 1970s and some of the challenges they faced.  In the episode, Terre talks about a video of one of Suzzy's introductions to "Good King Wenceslas."  I also mention my Christmas mix, which I'll send you. Write me at alex@myspiltmilk.com to get one. You can also find Jim Goodwin's indie Christmas mix at ChristmasUnderground.com, and Brad Ross-McLeod's old vinyl Christmas mix at FaLaLaLaLa.com.  We also heard "Marshmallow World" from Nikki Yanofsky, which you can hear now on all the streaming services.

Meet Jazz Singer Nikki Yanofsky. Her unique style of singing and her kind words of positivity are in displayed in her new album discussed on this The Path Here Podcast

On this episode of Art Pays Me, I chatted with singer Nikki Yanofsky about the journey back to her roots in Jazz music. Nikki shares what it was like blowing up at a young age and getting the chance to be mentored and work with legends like Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock. We also talk about Nikki's now project, ‘Nikki by Starlight', why she recorded it on a vintage RCA 77C microphone and what causes God to walk out of the room during the creative process.

Thrilled to welcome Canadian jazz-pop singer from Montreal and rising star Nikki Yanofsky to the show. A gracious historian of music's renowned authorities, Yanofsky built her stylistic compass based on an acclaimed trinity: Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder. Her new album 'Nikki By Starlight' (Out NOW) pays homage with a plate full of jazz standards with a fresh musical interpretation. Over the years, Yanofsky has collaborated with genre icons, including Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder while performing at some of the world's biggest stages. Maybe none bigger than singing the Canadian national anthem at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver in front of 3.2 billion people at age 16. Join us for a great chat with an artist you oughta know. For more information on Nikki Yanofsky, visit: www.nikkiyanofsky.com

On the fourteenth episode of the video call interview series, Host Jibril Osman sits down with Nikki Yanofksy. Nikki is a JUNO-nominated artist from Montreal, best known for her performance of "I Believe," the 2010 Winter Olympic anthem (which she recorded & performed when she was only 16 years-old). Over the course of her career, Nikki has worked with a ton of celebrated artists including Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones, and was named on Billboard's "21 Under 21." Recently, Nikki released the album "Turn Down The Sound." On this new record, Nikki comes full circle on an ambition she's been angling towards for years: To believe in and act on her own creative intuition.

5x Platinum Singer-Songwriter Nikki Yanofsky joins me for this week of The Road Trip Playlists Podcast! We talk about the relatability of her song 'Loner,' and her most recent album "Turn Down The Sound."

"I Got Rhythm" takes the spotlight on this episode of Same Difference. Join AJ and Johnny as they listen to and discuss various versions of this classic Jazz standard, including renditions by The Yellowjackets, Cab Calloway, and Canada's Nikki Yanofsky! Was she really only 16 when she recorded it?

Joining us again after a 9 year gap (which felt like only a minute!) Canadian Jazz, Pop and Soul musician Nikki Yanofsky performs some traditional standards and gives us a sneak peek of her latest album. And back for a second time at ideacity Cuban-Canadian singing sensation Alex Cuba gave the performance of a lifetime with his unique style.

So sit back and watch this performance because we

Nikki Yanofsky's career I'm sure would have blossomed into what it would eventually be just because of the sheer talent, but it was one slot that she secured at the Montreal International Jazz Festival that would exponentially set her up as a major artist. There and soon after she would be rubbing shoulders and capturing the attention of Quincy Jones, Phil Ramone (Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder), Herbie Hancock, Rod Temperton (“Thriller,” “Rock With You,” “Boogie Nights”), and many others. We go through the years of feeling like a black sheep and acceptance being the key to dust off the negative stereotypes that follow with a label. Even fear acting as a calibrator to share your innermost feelings as an artist and when to use that fear in your art. Rod Temperton being a personal friend and mentor in Nikki's life, Nikki shares some of Rod's writing styles of Prosody and what made the quality of such songs like Michael Jackson's, "Thriller", what they are. Taking these lessons from Rod, mentors, producers and even life lessons, Nikki's newest album Turn Down The Sound is one that pushes the pop genre but gives a tip of the hat to those that laid the groundwork before. Decategorizing genres, today's quality of music, and even personal acceptance are all things discussed in the life of Nikki Yanofsky.    American Songwriter Podcast Network

*Although he plays several instruments, the trumpet remains Gabriel Mark Hasselbach’s first love and his first choice Music is a dazzling mistress. Once Gabriel Mark Hasselbach fell in love with it, he could never let it go. His music brought him from Denver, Colo., to Vancouver, where his jazz performances have been in high demand for many years. “When I grew up in Denver, they had a new school education system. They allowed good students, and I had 4.0 average, to choose classes. I devoted almost all my junior and senior years to the art and music classes,” Hasselbach told the Independent. He started playing professionally in his teens. “I’ve been an opportunist, in the best sense of the word, all my life,” he said. “When I recognize an opportunity, I follow it. When I was 14, I wanted to perform, so I went to the local restaurants and ski resorts and fashion shows and asked, Do you need a musician? Maybe on certain days, when the business is slow? And I offered to play.” Gifted in multiple creative disciplines, he had a choice of several careers paths in high school. “At some point, I contemplated making ceramic sculptures as a career,” he said. “I liked it, but ceramics take time. You give it all, and then it cracks in the oven. Unlike ceramics, music is immediate.” By graduation, he was sure he wanted to be a musician. “I hit the road when I turned 18,” he recalled. “I answered an ad for an audition for a band. It was in a bad, dangerous part of town, but I went there anyway and I got the job, with the soul band Nitro. All the other players were 10 or 15 years my senior.” He played with that band and toured the Midwest with them for awhile. He also got a recording his first year. When Hasselbach returned to Denver, he worked a few non-music jobs, but his calling wouldn’t allow him a long respite. In the 1970s, he came to Canada as a musician, and here he stayed. “I brought my bicycle, my trumpet and a stack of music books,” he said. “That’s how I learned. I never went to a conservatory, but I read the books, I practised a lot and I performed a lot, alone and with the others. I think, this way, I kept my musical self, my uniqueness as a musician.” In his early years, he was known in Vancouver by his middle name, Mark. “I changed my performer’s name to my full name, Gabriel Mark Hasselbach, in 1992,” he said. “Gabriel is my first name, and Gabriel was the original angel with a horn – it fit.” Time and again, his creativity pushed him to explore other avenues besides music. “I used to write for several music magazines,” he said. “I also wrote a wine column for awhile.” Predominantly, though, he remained a jazz musician, and he was among the original members of the jazz/pop/blues band Powder Blues, which was founded in 1978 in Gastown. “I toured the world with this band,” said Hasselbach. “We played often in Canada and the U.S. We garnered several multiplatinum record awards and the JUNO Awards. I was with the band for five years.” But he wanted to play and record on his own, so he left the band and made his first solo recording in the early 1980s. By this time, he had more than a dozen albums to his name and multiple awards, including JUNOs and Smooth Jazz Awards. He’s had numerous top 15 and higher Billboard hits and he represented the Vancouver jazz scene at the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Since settling in Canada, Hasselbach has performed with many renowned national and international musicians. From 1996 to 1999, he hired Michael Bublé to sing with his band. When Bublé achieved stardom, Hasselbach worked for him as his music director from 1999 to 2003. Hasselbach also has performed or recorded with Nikki Yanofsky, Jim Byrnes and many others. Although he plays several instruments, including trumpet, flute, flugelhorn and trombone, trumpet remains his first love and his first choice. He also writes music. Most of the pieces he performs and records are his original compositions. In the early 1980s, Hasselbach added a new kind of gig to his repertoire. He began performing at Jewish events. “I’m an honorary Jew,” he joked. “I was first hired to play at a Jewish wedding by a Jewish man who knew me from my restaurant playing. The word spread, and many others invited me. By now, I know all the music pieces required at a Jewish wedding. I know all the procedures and ceremonies. I’m the go-to guy and bandleader for many organizers of Jewish events and rabbis in Vancouver and Winnipeg, have been for years.” In addition to his active schedule as a lounge musician and at Jewish events, he frequently plays at high-level corporate bashes. “I performed for Bill Gates twice, once in his home. He likes jazz,” Hasselbach said proudly. “I played for the president of Singapore at his birthday gala in Singapore, at the Montreux Jazz Fest, Switzerland, and the North Sea Jazz Fest in Netherlands. I played for the international APEC congress and for the world ice-skating convention.” The impressive list will continue to expand this year.*

We're getting into the holiday spirit this week as we welcome Heather Rankin and Sultans of String on the program. Heather Rankin is fresh from the release of Imagine, her solo Christmas collection featuring some holiday favourites and fresh new compositions. She talks about how the John Lennon song that inspired the album's name (and appears as its final track) is fitting for the holidays, how the season contributed to her and her family's musical upbringing, and more. Then, Sultans of String frontman Chris McKhool talks about his band's eclectic new holiday release, Christmas Caravan. We chat about how guest artists like Nikki Yanofsky, Alex Cuba, Crystal Shawanda, and Richard Bona were tapped for the collection, interpreting Christmas classics in various world music styles, and more. Plus, Andrew and Mike discuss their favourite contemporary Christmas releases, which may or may not include a rant on Mariah Carey's classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
