Sweet Nancy by Melanie Scholtz

Multi award winning singer and songwriter, Melanie Scholtz has been known for years to be a musical chameleon with not only her distinctive voice but also her versatility as her calling card. For her seventh solo studio release, she returns to her role as an interpreter with the second of her two releases this year. Sweet Nancy offers a glimpse at Scholtz as a jazz singer celebrating and paying homage to her childhood influence, jazz legend and vocal powerhouse, Nancy Wilson.

The album was recorded in New Orleans in 2023 and was produced by Adonis Rose, legendary drummer, artistic director and executive director of the prestigious Nocca Foundation. It also features Oscar Rossignoli on piano, Jason Stewart on bass and Derek Douget on tenor and soprano saxophones. Featuring classics such as The very thought of you, Too late now and The Shadow Of Your Smile, the album celebrates Nancy Wilson’s legacy by leaving the untouchable songs untouched, but visiting the deep cuts for the die-hard fans.
