Gilda SOLVE is
American, born in San Francisco. She has been living in
France for several years and treasures the osmosis
between herself and the European jazz musicians she
meets. Gilda Solve is one of the 5 discoveries at the
international competition 2003 in Juan les Pins. After
each performance, her vocal technique, her great stage
presence, her charm, the emotions she arouses and her
rapport with the audience leave a deep impression. With
a repertory that ranges from Duke Ellington, Horace
Silver, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Chuck Corea, Gilda
has invited us on a voyage through the gold standards of
jazz. Today she embraces a more up to date range with a
different harmonic and rhythmic concept of jazz and the
colours of California.
