On Encore, French jazz singer Virginie Teychene stands on the edges of collective memory and draws us into an unexpected encounter with our own emotions. Partnered with a quintet, she takes us by the hand and urges us to dance, over and over again, on this loving tribute to chanson singers Claude Nougaro, Barbara and Alain Bashung. ---Editorial Reviews, amazon.com

‘Et c’était bien…’ What do songs say? If music ‘expresses’ things and language ‘sings’ them, the role of songs is to reveal the music of language! Nougaro, Barbara and Bashung all knew a little about this… With this album, which is mostly devoted to them, Virginie Teychené stands on the edges of collective memory and invites us to an unexpected encounter with our own emotions. With the backing of a quintet which is fully on her side, she takes us by the hand and urges us to dance, over and over again, with those who tried before she did to remember the name of the petit bal perdu… --- mdt.co.uk

Virginie Teychené was exposed to the great jazz singers since her early childhood, and she still today is very passionate about them. She listened thoroughly and emulated the great Sarah, Ella, Bille, Dinah, Shirley... but also the male singers like Chet, Joao and Eddie Jefferson. By doing this she's created her own personal style, fed by the strong desire to find her own way.

Alongside her law and litterature studies, she sings professionally in various formations playing different genres, eventually chosing to focus on jazz only. With the "Workshop Experience" collective she elaborates a very original way of interpreting the themes and of improvising, somewhat like a played instrument. She plays the usual jazz circuit: jam sessions, clubs, gigs, and finally in 2004 she's noticed at the jazz festival of La Seyne sur mer (Côte d'Azur, France).

At the end of 2006 she records her debut album "Portraits", where one can listen to her fondness for the revisited jazz standards but also for the great composers (Strayhorn, Mingus, Jobim, ...). Around these themes one can hear and understand the multiple characters of her talent: sensitivity, energy, swing, immagination - accompanied by the optimal musicians who perform with her. ---jazzcds.co.uk
