Champain

Are you here? Okay, I was being facetious. I know you’ve been here before I even showed up. I won’t keep you waiting any longer.

So, yes, welcome to The Paul Leslie Hour, now in our 19th year. On this episode we’ve got an interview from the archives with performing and recording artist Champian Fulton. Champian is one of the most respected jazz pianists and vocalists on the scene.

Nate Chinen of The New York Times described Fulton as… “A charming young steward of the mainstream jazz tradition.”

Then there’s this: Mark Stryker of the Detroit Free Press commented: “Champian is the most gifted, pure jazz singer of her generation.”

These are some great acknowledgements, am I right? Okay, now let’s acknowledge that you can visit Champian Fulton’s website at champian.net and that’s spelled c-h-a-m-p-i-a-n. You got that?

While I’m giving out web addresses like it’s candy, I’ll just remark that The Paul Leslie Hour needs two things. Listeners and oh yeah, supporters. Just go to thepaulleslie.com/support and we thank you.

All right, well this interview isn’t going to start until I say so. “So.”
