Heather Keizer & Steve Christofferson Present: The Songs Of Sinatra avec Les Chansons Françaises
We warmly welcome back Heather Keizur and Steve Christofferson as they have created a special show featuring the songs of Frank Sinatra, along with some favorite Chansons Francaises, all in our intimate Cabaret room---an enchanting way to enjoy a beautiful spring evening!
This year's show at Ott and Hunter features well-known and beloved Frank Sinatra songs ranging from the sexy “Witchcraft” to the poignant “My Way," paired with French songs, from classics (Piaf, Trenet) to modern (Pink Martini, Banda Magda) performed in Heather and Steve’s unique style.
Heather Keizur (vocals) and Steve Christofferson (piano, melodica, vocals) stand out from the crowd in a refreshing and powerful way, delivering a combination of classic American and French jazz standards blended with strong chemistry and a joyful, swinging jazz sensibility. The playful communication between Heather and Steve speaks volumes about their 16-year partnership.
The Portland, Oregon duo has played many venues and festivals, including The PDX Jazz Festival, Tula's in Seattle, Frankie’s in Vancouver, BC, Snug Harbor in New Orlean and one of their favorites, Ott and Hunter in Langley, Washington. Their many CDs, including the latest, I Remember You, showcase their impressive renditions of classic American and French songs.
“Heather wowed the audience with a whole new level of romantic ballads, classic standards, and authentic French chansons. She combined these with her expressive stage presentation and interplay with Steve Christofferson. For many, it was the highlight of the season.”
Malcolm Holt, The Georgia Straight Jazz Society

“Whether singing in English or French, this dazzling vocalist projects the inner beauty of herself and the song she sings, straight to the heart of the listener."
