Typhanie Monique — “Chicago’s next major jazz artist”

That’s the description of Typhanie Monique by the Trib’s Howard Reich.

Typanie is a member of the School’s vocal teaching staff. You may have read about her when she and Chris Walz taught workshops in Moscow for three weeks last July.

JazzTimes magazine described Typhanie’s sound as a modern-day Sarah Vaughan with iridescent traces of Lena Horne.
Another critic wrote: “Toss her a subject or a groove and hang on tight. She’ll shake it, knead it, pummel it, wring it until it drips with the essence of her signature soul style. The harder you listen the more you’re repaid with a sound so pure that you ache when it stops. Her second CD, The Room, has had rave reviews.

You can hear Typhanie on Saturdays through February at Andy’s Jazz Club, 11 E. Hubbard St, between 5 and 8:30 pm. (312) 467-9394. www.andysjazzclub.com. $10. She has a voice to remember, and this is a great jazz venue.
