Man this is a gem! She is a knockout jazz singer- technically flawless, witty, spontaneous, with the scatting assurance of the great jazz singers and instrumentalists and the impeccable time of Mel Torme.
you prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last couple of days :)
Just discovered Veronica Swift, and I am very impressed with her singing style, reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day and other great bebop singers. Thanks for posting this.
Great version! Blossom Dearie used to do a signature version of I'm Hip in her "innocent" sounding voice. Love Cohen's accompanying: He breaks into Harlem stride at 2:01. Copacetic teamwork, guys. Bodyohdoh look at them go...
AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She`s the one: The real and true new jazz singer we've all being waiting for. Marvelous in every detail - do you notice "SHE IS THE ONE SWINGING THE SONG" (the great pianist, too, of course) - but it's been quite a while since a swinging singer came on the scene.
Without even reading the title, I heard the pianist and thought straight away - "Dang boy! you sound like Emmet!!" lol Fantastic performance, Veronica and Emmet!
I'm hip, I'm no square I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware I am always on the scene Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds I read Playboy magazine 'cause I'm hip I dig, I'm in step When it was hip to be hep, I was hep I don't blow but I'm a fan Look at me swing, ring a ding ding I even call my girlfriend 'Man', I'm so hip Every Saturday night With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on I'm gettin' my kicks Watchin' Arty French flicks with my shades on I'm too much I'm a gas I am anything but middle class When I hang around the band Poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums Squares don't seem to understand Why I flip, they're not hip like I'm hip I'm hip, I'm alive I enjoy any joint where there's jive I'm on top of every trend Look at me go vo dee o do Bobby Darin knows my friend I'm so hip I'm hip but not weird Like you notice, I don't wear a beard Beards were in but now they're out They had their day now they're passe Just ask me if you're in doubt, 'cause I'm hip Now whatever the fads And whatever the ads say It's needs fill I'll be keeping abreast Out in front of the rest with elites ville 'Cause I'm cool as a cuke I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook I get so much out of life Really, I do skoo ba doo boo One more time play 'Mack the knife' Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I'm hip Ooh, I'm hip, ooh, I'm hip Skoo ba doo boo, doo boo, doo boo Boo doo boo doo doo doo
My new favorite singer! Hey, I just realized that "David Frishberg knows my friend" would fit in the lyrics. I still remember a wonderful vocal quartet doing this 30-some years ago. Anyway, Veronica deserves to be more famous than Taylor, in my opinion.
Off-the charts singing talent and style. I'm always a little let down though when a singer leaves out my favorite verse, the one about macro-biotics and narcotics ;^}

I subscribe all your words
She has such incredible tone and stage presence. She’s so young but has such an old soul in her. What a beautiful talent.

@Zakai Makai definitely, been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself :D
I can't believe this is live. So perfect!!!
She plays her voice like Bird played his alto. This is jazz.
And Emmet Cohen is killing.....great duo.

when that EC LH bassline comes thru!!!!!!
Mel Torme would be proud of her! She has got it all!
Swift is just plain amazing! Her humor and her perfect note choices are inspiring. Best new vocalist I've heard in a long time
I agree...and her intonation is spot on...no fudging of pitches ...knows exactly what notes she wants and nails them
Great version! Blossom Dearie used to do a signature version of I'm Hip in her "innocent" sounding voice. Love Cohen's accompanying: He breaks into Harlem stride at 2:01. Copacetic teamwork, guys. Bodyohdoh look at them go...
I love Dearie's version and it's great to hear a young talent take this on. She doesn't copy, she respects her influences
How lucky we listeners we are with such a briljant creature!!!
AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She`s the one: The real and true new jazz singer we've all being waiting for. Marvelous in every detail - do you notice "SHE IS THE ONE SWINGING THE SONG" (the great pianist, too, of course) - but it's been quite a while since a swinging singer came on the scene.
Young gorgeous lady on jazz planet! Yeah keep on scating/ sing! Greetings from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur!
Damn -- I'd never heard of her before, but she's amazing! I'll definitely be seeking out more of her work!
CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM
Genius!!!
1:22 haha, the "Lady Gaga" thing was her little variation on the lyrics that are 40 yrs. old (in the original it's Sammy Davis jr.)
This woman is real. The real deal.
Without even reading the title, I heard the pianist and thought straight away - "Dang boy! you sound like Emmet!!" lol Fantastic performance, Veronica and Emmet!
so much sauce....
Music-Bob Dorough, Lyrics-Dave Frishberg. Fresh rendition from Veronica Swift, who has to be pretty HIP to sing this song!
They should have put the composer & lyricist names in the description. Thanks for letting people know.
The sassy jab at beards alone is worth clicking the thumbs up.
fantastic.
love love love it
This is amazing ❤
"This is a song called..." (immediately sings the correct pitch before the piano plays any reference pitch).
one of the greatest!👏💪👏💪👏💪
Amazing
That was incredible! What a fantastic ending... both of you!
That’s the spirit. Love it!
Fabulous..
An excellent rendition! I love the timing, her clever adaptations, and the strid ed piano at the end was a treat.
Terrific!!
What a clear, cool voice..
Thank your for this wonderful performance ;-)
What a gem ☺️
Great duo!
Knocks everything you throw at her straight out of the park
Both are brilliant.
Shes awesome
This is very very pleasant. Thanks!
A great version!!!
such talent she's Hip...
This is so charming
I'm hip, I'm no square
I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware
I am always on the scene
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds
I read Playboy magazine 'cause I'm hip
I dig, I'm in step
When it was hip to be hep, I was hep
I don't blow but I'm a fan
Look at me swing, ring a ding ding
I even call my girlfriend 'Man', I'm so hip
Every Saturday night
With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
I'm gettin' my kicks
Watchin' Arty French flicks with my shades on
I'm too much I'm a gas
I am anything but middle class
When I hang around the band
Poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums
Squares don't seem to understand
Why I flip, they're not hip like I'm hip
I'm hip, I'm alive
I enjoy any joint where there's jive
I'm on top of every trend
Look at me go vo dee o do
Bobby Darin knows my friend
I'm so hip
I'm hip but not weird
Like you notice, I don't wear a beard
Beards were in but now they're out
They had their day now they're passe
Just ask me if you're in doubt, 'cause I'm hip
Now whatever the fads
And whatever the ads say
It's needs fill
I'll be keeping abreast
Out in front of the rest with elites ville
'Cause I'm cool as a cuke
I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook
I get so much out of life
Really, I do skoo ba doo boo
One more time play 'Mack the knife'
Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I'm hip
Ooh, I'm hip, ooh, I'm hip
Skoo ba doo boo, doo boo, doo boo
Boo doo boo doo doo doo
My new favorite singer! Hey, I just realized that "David Frishberg knows my friend" would fit in the lyrics. I still remember a wonderful vocal quartet doing this 30-some years ago. Anyway, Veronica deserves to be more famous than Taylor, in my opinion.
The Frishberg reference would be very hip! She is a marvel
Taylor Swift? OMG, no comparison! Veronica buries Taylor.
she's just the tops
I'm Hip with your sensational great/ scat voice !! Keep on jazzy Veronica. Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
I like what she did at 1:52 to 1:55. Whats the technical term for that?
💜😎
Love it as much as the original!
Well, I just got connected to Veronica today thanks to a recommendation from Vince Jones. Like, wow!!! We sure ain't in Kansas any more!
so hip
GREAT!!! Wonderful song by David Frishburg
Blossom Dearie is smiling somewhere.
That was hip!
omfg
I only hope my dear, dear friend Dave hears this version!
Phuqn A ...you are Hip Baby! I Dig That
Very very hip! :)
Impressive.
The songs live on...she’s as good as the greats of old
I'm Hip ! Bob Dylan Knew My Friend !
Veronica Swiftly taking charge
Flawless. She’s the next Ella.
There will never be another Ella, but she sure sounds like her daughter!;)
She’s cuteee
nah, she's hip
Off-the charts singing talent and style. I'm always a little let down though when a singer leaves out my favorite verse, the one about macro-biotics and narcotics ;^}
this is me if i had voice ahahah!!!! but...what?!"lady gaga"in the lyrics ?!! She has the enthusiasm of Ella
..is like she has come back.
How do I find a lead sheet for this?
Two superstars. Where's the piano? (low in the mix at times)
How does she do that?
No autotune necessary. Nice work, miss.
I read Playboy Magazine!
Can you dig it?.......I knew that you could.
For my ears the sound engineer put the piano too low in the mix...
It's hard to believe that comes from her lol. She's good...
Yeah her hands show she has the count... that’s my tempo
She is 100 times better than Taylor Swift. I just wanted to clarify that for those who might’ve been in doubt
Taylor isn't a singer in my book
Berklee ? NEC? Loses the irony of the Blossom Dearie version in favour of a sort of bland, Millenial brashness. Will listen to more of her work!
I am sorry, there is only one like buttom here
Annoying vocals
Guess youre not hip enough
Very cringe behaviorally, but she totally gets a pass, being such a phenomenal singer.
