***** Probably because she was a teen-aged jazz singer from Canada. Even with help from Quincy Jones and Phil Ramone, most jazz singers don't get much press (even if they get their first recording at the age of 13 - she was 16 when this was made). Now 21, Nikki is trying to break through with more pop material.
Lullaby of Birdland that's what I Always hear when you sigh Never in my wordland Could there be ways to reveal In a phrase how I feel Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love That's the kind of magic Music we make with our lips when we kiss. And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet and we'll go Flyin' high in Birdland High in the sky up above All because we're in love
It's very interesting, when she introduces herself she has a very bright tone to her voice, but once she starts singing she has a lot darker tone that's needed for jazz. This gets two thumps up from me.
Every time I want to listen lullaby of birdland, I come to this specific video... This version has something that I don't know what it is, is the best one ever!
It's not often that the first three seconds of a video convince me that it's worth watching till the end. Thank you for uploading. Both you and your band are fantastic.
Wow!!! Simply beautiful. Your voice, the vibrato, the arrangement, the good musicians in the background, the outstanding piano solo. Excellent rendition of this great piece by Duke Ellington. Thanks for sharing it.
WOW ! Absolutely gorgeous voice! Great versatility ; Powerful subtle, soft and fabulous control. Not everybody knows how technicaly this type of song is to perform! I remember you from your ‘Necessary evil’ hit! You are just a fabulous singer, songwriter and performer!

Fantastic singer, divine! Ten or 15 years ago I saw a young girl singer on TV who stunned the audience singing a jazz tune with impeccable taste and style. The name Yanofsky rings a bell. hoped I would hear her again in the future. Is this she? In any case I must listen to all your videos, you are a breath of fresh air.
I'm floored...that marvelous voice coming out of that diminutive young lady, ye gods, she's the biggest one in the room! The whole ensemble is so skilled, what a bunch of talent in one place. Just sublime.
I checked out a cd from my local library entitiled "We All Love Ella." I found Nikki Yanofsky on the last track, number 15 - Airmail Special. She absolutely blew me away, and yet I'd never heard of her and came to TH-cam to find her. Wow, is she talented. Next step, I've got to find out where I can hear her in person. You go, Nikki!

Nikki seems to be comfortable in her own person; she is confident because that is who she is; what you see, is what you get. I would think that she is kind, considerate, and extremely compassionate toward the feelings of others. She is a joy to watch and listen to. Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

Really good version of Lullaby Of Birdland! I like it! I feel some kind of courage in this voice and I definitely like part (after the pianist solo) when she starts doing those little rocky nuances by her voice. Good for my ears!
WOW found this girl by accident just flicking through foxtell chanels on tv. doing as much research on her as i can now, she's really great. think my idol Eva Cassidy would have liked her a lot.
OOOOH I love her voice!!! She's amazing :D I love this style of music, and also her version of "Don't know why", because is one of my favourite songs!!!
Great video ! You sing very well, Niki, I admire you since 2008 (I guess), when I found your songs (you were 14) ! I take advantage to wish Jesus, the Name above all names (Phillipians 2:9) bless you all, and may God's Word feed your hearts (by its reading and meditation).

How did I not know about her until now!!!??? Also, who's heard of 'Kids on the Slope'??
Me!!!
mE :)))
amazing! found her through spotify's 'women of jazz' playlist
***** me :))

Lullaby of Birdland that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips
when we kiss.
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

It's very interesting, when she introduces herself she has a very bright tone to her voice, but once she starts singing she has a lot darker tone that's needed for jazz. This gets two thumps up from me.
She’s been singing this tune at least since she was 12.
bro what, what are you doing bro
2 thumps up-- must be a bongo drummer.
Double thumper
Every time I want to listen lullaby of birdland, I come to this specific video... This version has something that I don't know what it is, is the best one ever!

Singers like her don't come along very often.
Bravo.
Wow!!! Simply beautiful. Your voice, the vibrato, the arrangement, the good musicians in the background, the outstanding piano solo. Excellent rendition of this great piece by Duke Ellington. Thanks for sharing it.
George Shearing
Autotune...
Yes!!! Good to know that Jazz is being kept alive and (very) well with younger generation. She sounds great!!
WOW ! Absolutely gorgeous voice! Great versatility ; Powerful subtle, soft and fabulous control. Not everybody knows how technicaly this type of song is to perform!
I remember you from your ‘Necessary evil’ hit!
You are just a fabulous singer, songwriter and performer!
Nikky é fantastica.Tenho tudo dela.. Acompanho-a desde os 13 anos ..Sinto falta de DVD. Superbe!
I love this arrangement. Nikki's voice is incredible, and the band is excellent!

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!
Even today she is still a rare talent - a masterpiece - I love her sweet, tender and expressive voice - Greetings from Germany!
Good the first time I heard it. Better the second time. Yeah, I'll keep coming back to listen again and again and . . . again.
She does not have a typical jazz voice, more of a musical voice, but her scatting is out if this world!
Wow! What an amazing voice. The band was awesome, too! Great song. 🎶🎶
WOW! Nikki, you are a very very talented young lady and I believe you WILL continue to evolve your sound & talent.
Can't stop playing this :)
Outstanding! Simply Outstanding. A new Ella in the making!
I m twelve years old and i love your songs! When i m 18 then i want to be a jazz- and soul - singer♥♥♥ you are amazing♥♥♥♥♥
this is probably the best song i've heard her sing. and i can't help but get jealous at how good she is.
I have to say I like the pace of this version. It gives the song a little bit of an edge that I felt it was missing in other versions.
One of my favourites of all of her old jazz songs!
Fantastic singer, divine!
Ten or 15 years ago I saw a young girl singer on TV who stunned the audience singing a jazz tune with impeccable taste and style. The name Yanofsky rings a bell. hoped I would hear her again in the future. Is this she?

That's a great one miss Nikki!
Wow what a voice! And the band is buuuurnninn!
That's a different spin on an old favourite and you've made it your own. Sounds fantastic.

Cannot listen to and watch that without crying. God blessed your angelic voice, Nikki.
Walking through all those harmonies. Yes, yes, yes. And swing, too. I wish I'd thought of that....
I can't stop listening to her rendition of this song. I love it.
incredible. I searched though 5 years of internet (youtube) history to find this video. so worth it.
What a voice! Bravo for an exquisite rendition of this difficult to sing number. Well done Nikki!

Ohhhh finally a clip from the new Rawsessions for Nikki, and in 1080p, great success! :) Love her rendition
Nikki.. i did a reggae vrrsion of this with your vocals.. just for my enjoyment... thanks..
Really good version of Lullaby Of Birdland! I like it! I feel some kind of courage in this voice and I definitely like part (after the pianist solo) when she starts doing those little rocky nuances by her voice. Good for my ears!
Sir George Shearing who composed Lullaby of Birdland was a great composer and musician. I enjoy this classic standard pretty much.
WOW found this girl by accident just flicking through foxtell chanels on tv. doing as much research on her as i can now, she's really great. think my idol Eva Cassidy would have liked her a lot.
Wow! She is amazing! Bravo!
Excellent performance!
2022... still watching and listening...
