"A female jazz vocalist playlist for an intimate Mediterranean terrace 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 medium-high tannins. The energy is balanced between warmth and sparkle, reflecting the medium acidity. The tasting notes of Black cherry, Raspberry, Plum, Dark berries (blackberry, cassis), Red fruit compote translate to warm, nostalgic melodies, velvety, rich harmonies, romantic, sweeping melodies, sharp, percussive accents. Keep the tempo slow and unhurried, 60-80 BPM."
