In 2006 I released my first album and in 2018 I released my 10th. “The Stylings of Champian” is a TWO DISC SET featuring my current band, Hide Tanaka on bass, Fukushi Tainaka on drums and Stephen Fulton on flugelhorn. Recorded one afternoon in May at my favorite studio Systems Two, these 85 minutes of music represent the joy and delight I have found in sharing my music with audiences around the world.

THIS IS A TWO DISC SET.

Champian’s 10th album, “The Stylings of Champian”, is a fabulous two disc set featuring 85+ minutes of non-stop swinging Jazz. Joined by her working New York Quartet - Hide Tanaka on bass, Fukushi Tainaka on drums, and Stephen Fulton on flugelhorn - “The Stylings of Champian” highlights compositions by Champian’s piano heroes: “Blues Etude” by Oscar Peterson and “Martha’s Prize” by Cedar Walton, in addition to a beautiful arrangement by legendary Jazz bassist Buster Williams on the Rogers and Hart standard “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was.” Named Female Jazz Vocalist of the year by Hot House Jazz Magazine, Champian’s vocal artistry is most apparent on “Body and Soul”, a duet performance with solo bass and voice. With this release, Champian has assured her place in the Jazz firmament. ... more

about

PRESS For THE STYLINGS OF CHAMPIAN

“[Champian’s] voice is a little bit of heaven here on earth. Subservient to each song (as it should be), she takes lyrics and makes them all into one-act vignettes, believable, honest, imbued with a veracity that transcends the art of vocalese into a kind of personal communication that will resonate deep in your soul. “ Mike Greenblatt for “The Aquarian”

“the high point of Champian’s career so far…..Fulton’s knowing vocals and improvisational flair are as cutting-edge as anything happening in the avant garde. To paraphrase JD Allen,, sometimes the most radical thing you can do these days is swing.” - New York Music Daily

“Her vocals are largely smooth and sophisticated. her phrasing superb and most of all, her instinct for jazz deeply part of her DNA. “ Marilyn Lester, NYC Jazz Record

“There's a lot of experience in her voice, which is flecked with Blossom Dearie's casual sophistication and hip intimacy. A bit of Billie Holiday and Betty Carter note-bending as well. “ - Mark Myers, JazzWax.com

“Fulton’s delightful piano is highlighted on “Martha’s Prise” and “Blues Etude”. Her place in any contemporary list of great vocalists is secured by her interpretations of the clever “Lollipops and Roses”, and “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was.” -Joe Bebco for the Syncopated Times

"The Stylings of Champian" is a treat from start-to-finish, filled with strong songs and excellent musicianship. Champian Fulton is both a delightful pianist and an evocative, assured, singer, never just "going through the motions" to show off her "chops" but making each song her own. This, her 10th album, is well worth exploring and enjoying!” Step Tempest

“The Stylings of Champian, a two-disc set of standards perfectly suited to her lilting voice and classic jazz sound…Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Richard Rodgers-Lorenz Hart never sounded happier.” Suzanne Lorge, New York City Jazz Record

“a bluesy singing style with relaxed phrasing and a swinging delivery. 3.5 Stars” Scott Yanow, Downbeat
