After winning the 2015 Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition then performing at the Montreal International Jazz Festival the following year, 25-year-old singer and songwriter Arianna Neikrug makes her grander introduction to the music world with the August 24, 2018 release of Changes on Concord Jazz. Produced by the Grammy-winning pianist and arranger Laurence Hobgood, Changes displays Neikrug’s gift for interpreting tunes from the Great American Songbook and more recent pop and R&B classics from the ’70s. The disc also contains two originals that reveal some of Neikrug’s journey from her hometown of Los Angeles to New York City, where she argues she truly belongs. Blending the right amount of reverence for the jazz tradition with a knowing glance to modern pop and R&B classics, sprinkled with two inviting originals, Changes will delight both jazz purists and novices without making any unwise artistic compromises as she superbly negotiates the glories of jazz’s past with a wide-eyed optimism that betrays her tender age. “When you’re recording your debut album, fresh out of college, you’re not exactly sure how you want to present yourself,” Neikrug explains. “It was easier figuring that out by discovering who I didn’t want to be. I’m just trying to take the jazz tradition and move it in my direction.”

This is 25-year-old Arianna Neikrug’s debut album, and a startling experience it can be, if you’re unprepared for it. Instead of the customary glossy full orchestra there is a piano trio, and the pianist (also arranger and producer) is Laurence Hobgood, for 20 years a close musical confidant of Kurt Elling. Between them they virtually rewrote the rulebook for jazz singing and raised technique to virtuoso level.

This is the point at which Neikrug, winner of the 2015 Sarah Vaughan international vocal competition, enters the scene. From the first half-minute it’s obvious that notes are no problem as she pitches immaculately over some very unlikely chords. The song is No Moon at All, famously recorded in 1955 by Julie London, and Hobgood is noted for doing radical things to old songs. As the set proceeds, through numbers associated with Al Green, the Jackson Five, Joni Mitchell and others, plus two attractive if slightly wordy originals, the scale of Neikrug’s talent becomes apparent. Her grip on time is quite extraordinary, and her scat singing totally convincing. It’s all a little intense, but as a display of endless potential hugely impressive.
