Alliance Francaise French Jazz Vocalist, Mina Agossi December 2, 2010

Minneapolis, Minn. — French vocalist Mina Agossi is one of the most unique and identifiable voices in modern jazz. With a personal "Voice and bass" style that can begin to be described as Bjork-meets-Billie Holiday, she has radically changed people's perceptions of the limitations of jazz singing. Her originals are funky and fresh, and her rearrangements of classics by Thelonious Monk and Jimi Hendrix are startling in their inventiveness. Alliance Française de Minneapolis/St. Paul will present Mina Agossi at the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant in Minneapolis on Thursday, December 2 at 7pm.

The Alliance Française de Minneapolis/St. Paul is a non-profit organization that offers French language classes and French cultural events, including music, films, lectures, conversation groups and an annual Bastille Day Celebration.
