EASY TO LOVE: Camille Thurman + CJO
On February 26, 2022, it will be EASY TO LOVE and easy to remember the name, Camille Thurman, as she joins your Charleston Jazz Orchestra for the Season 14 opener at the Charleston Music Hall. For Camille Thurman, “the horn is a voice, and the voice is a horn.” Fluid and powerful on the tenor saxophone and highly inventive as a vocalist, her rich sax sounds have been compared to Joe Henderson and Dexter Gordon, while her vocal approach – including an impressive scatting ability – has been classified alongside those of Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter.
As a composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, educator, she is quickly becoming one of the standard bearers for the art form. Camille Thurman constantly makes a considerable and dynamic contribution to the legacy of jazz while paying tribute to its heroes. You will want to get the best seat in the house to witness the rising jazz talent of Camille Thurman, as she brings her soulful and warm sound to Charleston for an evening of beautiful jazz in EASY TO LOVE: Camille Thurman + CJO!
