Champian Fulton

Jazz Pianist and Vocalist

Review in NightLife Exchange "Champian Fulton Trio Was Sheer Magic"

by Andrew Portez


Fulton, always in terrific voice, has a rather distinctive style. She rarely sings a straight melody for very long. Her approach to a melody bears some similarities to “vocalese” and “scat” singing, except Fulton uses the song’s actual lyrics rather than the made-up words and nonsense syllables of vocalese and scat. She falls behind, under and ahead of the lyric or the piano, always catching up to herself with the grace and timing of a trapeze artist. Overall, with her equally unique piano style, she strikes me as something of a female Nat King Cole
