ALBUM NEGRO SPIRITUALS AND GOSPELS
Piano, voice and chords

Agnes Sarkis has a French father and an English mother, and sings in both French and English. She was trained as a classical singer, which has given her a range of two octaves, from the deep, robust sound for Negro Spirituals up to an extremely light upper register. Before coming to Europe, she sang in churches, concerts and musical comedies. She now spends more time working in Great Britain than in France, which explains why she has become popular in London, after appearing in a number of BBC shows.
This Album includes several old jazzy favourites and some compositions by Agnes Sarkis featuring words by Henry Lemarchand.
These songs were recorded with the Jack Dieval Quartet and the Roger Berthier Choir.
