"A female jazz vocalist playlist for an intimate the character of St-Émilion jazz club at midnight. channeling Nina Simone's intensity and Cassandra Wilson's depth. The full body calls for powerful, commanding vocals with a big band or orchestral jazz arrangement. The rhythm should be a natural, easy swing to match the firm tannins. The energy is balanced warmth, reflecting the medium-plus acidity. The tasting notes of black cherry, plum, cedar, ripe black fruit, dark chocolate translate to warm, nostalgic melodies, velvety, rich harmonies, smoky, late-night atmosphere, rich, indulgent bass and vocals. Keep the tempo slow and unhurried, 60-80 BPM."
