With one song, she will stir up desires long forgotten. Borrowing liberally&nbsp;from vintage Parisian chansons and jazz standards, her arrangements are ignited by&nbsp;eclectic gypsy jazz instrumentation and driving Cuban rhythms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is a classically trained multilingual singer with a CEGEP Diploma in Music majoring on&nbsp;Baritone Saxophone and a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Music majoring in Voice. Her introduction to&nbsp;music and performing began at a young age, she started on bari in grade 6 yet had already&nbsp;been involved in theatre with the Hudson\u2019s Players Club since the age of 8.&nbsp;She has an extensive vocal range with excellent technique that allows her to adapt easily to&nbsp;different styles. Over the years, Tina has enjoyed singing in several different groups, from&nbsp;intimate jazz duos to an 18 piece Big Band, from huge choirs to solo arias, from rock to reggae \u2013&nbsp;yet invariably, always comes back to jazz. One of Tina\u2019s strengths as a performer is her ability&nbsp;to improvise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I cherish most about jazz is the freedom of improvisation. When I solo, I imagine blowing&nbsp;my old horn, and singing the way I would have played over those same chord changes.\u201d T.Hartt&nbsp;In Toronto, she co-produced her debut album \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know Me\u201d alongside Murray Reid&nbsp;featuring original and cover material. She has played extensively in clubs in Toronto, Montreal&nbsp;and Halifax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since moving to Calgary, Tina has enjoyed a six months standing gig at Betty Lou\u2019s Library,&nbsp;frequent appearances at the Blackfoot Hotel, the Vin Room West, Gravity Expresso &amp; Wine Bar&nbsp;and Alvin\u2019s Jazz Club. In 2020 Tina was one of the featured artists selected to perform in the&nbsp;YYC International Jazz Days Festival. Currently she is working on her second album for release&nbsp;by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy Coates on bass, Konrad Pluta on piano and Jeff Fafard on drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Performers Tina Hartt sings with a sensuality that mirrors emotions we can no longer verbally&nbsp;express.
