Sabrina the Songstress
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2020
Sabrina The Songstress (aka Sabrina) is a vocalist who has performed at many Jazz and Blues venues, special events, receptions, parties, local festivals, and many other engagements throughout California. Sabrina’s initial inspiration came from listening to her father’s jazz albums, particularly the late Nancy Wilson albums that he began playing when Sabrina was about five years of age.
While Sabrina was once simply referred to as a “jazz/blues vocalist”, she now refers to herself as Sabrina the Songstress as her genre now stretches across all music lines (jazz, blues, R&B, pop, and more). She has set her sight on traveling around the Country performing primarily at festivals. Both small and large venues. Her desire is to share messages of “empowerment” through songs to help us all ascend and expand to our highest self, thus contributing to the restoration of peace, beauty and harmony on the planet.

Satin Doll and Smile - Live Performance by Sabrina the Songstress and her Jazz Trio
I truly loved performing these songs with the most wonderful musicians at the annual Gala of the Melanin Day School Academy in Sacramento, California. It was the first time that we brought this show, "Music from the Harlem Renaissance Era" to a live audience and they seemed to love it as you can likely tell via this video. And, I loved this very lively audience too! This has since become one of our most requested shows which we have now performed several times throughout this year of 2024--a true indication that this music is indeed timeless.
A bit of history:
The Harlem Renaissance Era of the 1920's and 30's was a most significant time in American history. It was a time that presented numerous opportunities to African American artists of all types (writers, singers, dancers, painters, and more) in cities like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. Many artists fled the Southern States and came to these Northern States seeking opportunity and often fame and fortune. Nat King Cole and Duke Ellington were 2 of many.
The song, Smile, was written by comedian, movie producer/director & songwriter, Charlie Chaplin during the HR Era, and eventually given to Nat King Cole who made it hugely popular. It is a timeless song, even documented as the legendary Micheal Jackson's favorite song, and a song that is so relevant and needed today to uplift people all around the world! This song has a lot of history.
Satin Doll is a Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn composition, both of whom were a major part of the HR Era. This was the hit song that saved the Duke Ellington Band when the big bands were fading away during and after the Depression of the 1930's, as many of the popular venues were unable to afford to pay the expensive big bands that were previously a major part of the entertainment world.
If you want to learn more about the Harlem Renaissance Era, there are many wonderful TH-cam videos, including documentaries about the HR Era as well as these artists. I encourage everyone to become familiar with this important time in history.

“We Are Family” 2023 Live Performance by Sabrina the Songstress and her Jazz Trio
มุมมอง 2184 หลายเดือนก่อน
We Are Famly is being performed live in 2023 at The Annual Gala and Jazz Brunch of the Melanin Day School Academy in Sacramento, CA. by Sabrina the Songstress and her Jazz Trio (James Malone on keyboards, Dwaine Spurlin on Saxaphone and Rich DeFazio on drums). I chose this song for my “July Serenade” since July is the month in which many family reunions are celebrated. So this goes out to all f...
“The Nearness of You” - Cover by Sabrina the Songstress
มุมมอง 134ปีที่แล้ว
I first heard and fell in love with this song in the early 1990’s while listening to one of my favorite male vocalists, Mr. Will Downing. His rendition, I realize now, was so unique and so magical, sexy, scrumptious (I’d better stop here…) that I could have sworn he wrote this song. I thought it was his original composition until I began noticing many other jazz artists singing it - making it a...
Lover Man - Cover by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 248ปีที่แล้ว
I chose a song written especially for Billie Holiday for this month’s serenade, (April 2023) to celebrate this world-renowned legend. Known as “Lady Day” (the nickname given to her by famous saxophonist, Lester Young), she was born more than a century ago in the month of April in the year 1915. I first heard the song Lover Man in the movie soundtrack for “Lady Sings the Blues” as recorded by Di...
My Way - Cover by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 429ปีที่แล้ว
Yes - I am aware that Frank Sinatra made this song very popular; however, during this Women’s History Month, I am choosing to honor Shirley Bassey who I’m calling the “unsung legend”. Her powerful rendition of My Way also became popular and even referred to as one of her signature songs - a “must sing” in all of her shows. I was floored when I heard her rendition and then became excited about l...
"Fine and Mellow", a Billie Holiday Blues Tune - Cover by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 143ปีที่แล้ว
Fine and Mellow is a “straight up blues tune” that I find fun to sing. Although I’ve moved away from singing a lot of blues in order to make way for songs with a more positive vibe, I still keep some “blues” tunes in my repertoire. Why? Because they are fun to sing and so many people seem to love the “blues”. So, I’ve put on my theatrical hat as I sing this tune with the conviction of the songw...
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” - cover by Sabrina the Songstress
มุมมอง 159ปีที่แล้ว
I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas due to my religious upbringing. Therefore, I didn’t really sing Christmas or Holiday songs. Once I became an adult and found my gift of singing, I began, at some point, exploring and learning holiday songs because that is what people generally want to hear around the Christmas Season. Well, what I began to see was that there are some very beautiful “holida...
"Guess Who I Saw Today" - Cover By Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 200ปีที่แล้ว
I’m certain that those who have been following my work, including the Monthly Serenades, know that I am a big fan of the late Ms. Nancy Wilson. It is this song that truly lives up to her contention that she was not a jazz singer, R&B singer, pop singer, nor did she place herself in any other box. “I am a Song Stylist and Storyteller” were the words she often used to describe her music, her song...
(LIVE PERFORMANCE) The Shadow of Your Smile - by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 3742 ปีที่แล้ว
I first heard the song, “The Shadow of Your Smile” as a young girl, not knowing that it was later to become known as a very popular jazz standard. I didn’t even know what a “jazz standard” was. All I knew is that I loved the way that Nancy Wilson sang this song. As a child I thought Nancy wrote it and was the only person who recorded it because she sang it so well. Lol! As children, we live in ...
(LIVE PERFORMANCE) What A Wonderful World - by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 4922 ปีที่แล้ว
“What A Wonderful World” is, in my view, such an extraordinary and uplifting song that it is now “the song” that I include in each and every one of my live performances; usually at the conclusion. I like to send people away feeling better than when they arrived to my show-and this song always does it! The song is also featured on my 2019 CD titled “Back in the House-with Pure Positive Vibration...
Fly Me to the Moon - Cover by Sabrina the Songstress
มุมมอง 1652 ปีที่แล้ว
I must admit that I recently reluctantly learned the song “Fly Me to the Moon” just because it is, they say, a song that every singer should have in one’s repertoire. Otherwise, I avoided it because it seems that I’ve witnessed so many singers and bands performing this song, and…well, I like to be different. But okay! I learned it anyway and now admit that it is one of my most fun songs to sing...
Smooth Operator - Cover by Sabrina The Songstress
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The song “Smooth Operator” became a big hit in 1984, bringing a touch of jazz to the pop scene. It was actually co-written by Sade herself. Sade and this song became known around the globe when she launched her debut album in 1984 which sold over 7 million copies with 3 hit singles from that same album. This song received so much “air play” that it never even dawned on me to learn and sing it. ...
"Moon River" - Cover by Sabrina The Songstress

“Moon River” was originally composed by Henry Mancini and his Orchestra in 1960, with lyrics written by the legendary singer and songwriter Johnny Mercer. I learned this song at the request of a restaurant owner where I performed regularly in 2021 in the midst of the COVID19 era (outdoors of course). At the owner’s request I learned this song which was her “heavenly” mother’s favorite song. It ...

Thank you Ron! I appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of this song and for keeping these old classics alive. It was about 9 years ago when I discovered a 7 years old Norwegian singer named Angelina Jordan. A year later I saw her performance of this song and since then she has been introducing the young generations to many of the old classics. Here is 8 years old Angelina standing alone on a stage in the middle of a sea of people and delivering a stunning performance of this song. th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html Thank you for reading and watching.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out. I appreciate your compliment and your narrative. Thanks for sharing!
