Cyrille Aimee, who is headed to the Bay Area for several shows, says her new songs were influenced by Costa Rican wildlife.
French singer-songwriter Cyrille Aimee is headed to the Bay Area for a series of concerts in Palo Alto, Santa Cruz and San Francisco.Cyrille Aimée says that her music has thrived since she found a quiet environment in the jungle, but the award-winning jazz singer isn’t talking about a lack of sound.
A few months before the pandemic, Aimée bought a plot of land next to her friends’ house, thinking she’d eventually put up a little cabin. But hunkered down in the jungle throughout 2020 and 2021, she designed and built herself a house. Some of the music she’ll be presenting emerged out of her months in the rain forest, where she shed the hustling mindset required for life in New York and the road. “The jungle is super loud, but one reason I fell in love with it is there’s the silence of no distractions,” she said. “Settling in, I could finally hear what wanted to come out.”
She’ll be drawing from her expansive repertoire of standards and originals, including a few previews from “Inside and Out,” which features songs she wrote on guitar and baritone ukulele. The project started about five years ago when she was still in Brooklyn, but ended up on the backburner when Aimée moved to New Orleans in 2018. The problem wasn’t that she was having too much fun letting the good times roll.
Rather than recording with a band in the studio, she and Sherman painstakingly crafted each track layer by layer. “I’d come in with a fully finished song and play the guitar or baritone uke part. He plays the bass and keys, and figures out if it needs piano, Rhodes, organ, or something else.”
