RADIO SWISS JAZZ: CD-Tipp of February 2016 -Silvie Rider-Young:” Reviens…Arab Spring”
Even though Silvie Rider-Young is living for quite a while now in Texas, she can’t hide her Swiss roots and she does not have to. Her being very comfortable with the french language she proves this impressingly (strongly) with her new Album “Reviens-Arab Spring”.
Midst of all the Songs she sings in english, the musician shows with Edith Piaf-Chansons like “Milord” , “Non, je ne regrette rien” or ” La Vie en Roses” , that she has a wide palette of different Music styles she sings with her dynamic and strong Voice.
For the Listeners in her chosen Homeland Texas-Austin where Silvie Rider-Young is living since her marriage to the American Pianist and Organist Red Young, the french Chansons might sound quite exotic. But it is the mixture of the french Songs together with Standards like “Beautiful Love” (with Big Band Arrangement) which are giving the CD ‘Reviens-Arab Spring” the special touch. Read More
REVIEW by SCOTT YANOW, to be released in June 2014 at the
LOS ANGELES JAZZ SCENE
Reviens is singer and songwriter Silvie Rider-Young’s second CD since moving to Austin, Texas with her husband pianist-organist Red Young in 2007. Ms. Young was born and raised in Switzerland, had classical piano lessons from the age of nine, and at 18 was inspired to become a jazz singer after seeing Betty Carter perform. She performed throughout Europe and Japan with her own bands before her relocation to the U.S., and has since been an active performer in the United States. Her American debut CD was 2010’s Je Te Connais.
In 2010, Rider-Young performed at an Edith Piaf tribute. Five of those songs are included on Reviens along with two classical pieces, a few jazz standards, and three originals on which she wrote the music and the lyrics. She is joined by two rhythm sections that feature Red Young on piano and organ, plus guest horn players on five of the 15 selections.
The music on Reviens covers a wide range of styles. The program begins with Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” which has Silvie Rider-Young displaying a fetching voice with a straightforward and warm delivery. Trumpeter Ephraim Owens is a strong asset on that performance. A medium-tempo version of “Beautiful Love” benefits from the use of two trombonists (Andre Hayward and Mike Mordecai) on an inventive arrangement that has them playing behind both the vocal and the piano solo. “Padam,” “Milord,” “No Regrets,” “Hymne A Lamour,” and “La Vie En Rose” are from the Edith Piaf tribute and display Silvie Rider-Young’s comfort at singing French Chanson music and emotional ballads, giving the music plenty of honest feeling.
“Angel Eyes, with Sam Lipman on tenor, has Rider-Young getting pretty passionate during an extroverted and expressive rendition. Her original “6000 Miles Away” is an intense love song to her husband. She also performs “You Go To My Head” (with Mike Malone helping out on tenor), “Reviens” (a piece in which the singer wrote the French lyrics which translates to “Come Back Please”), the dramatic “If You Go Away,” and the assertive “You Got The Key to My Heart” (with Red Young prominent on organ). In her composition “Arab Spring,” she honors the courage of Malala to stand up for both education and women. Rider-Young plays piano on “You Go To My Head” and a sensitive version of Bach’s “Ave Maria,” clearly enjoying performing with the two masterful bassists John Fremgen and Daniel Durham.
Whether it is jazz, ballads or Edith Piaf songs, Silvie Rider-Young‘s voice sounds beautiful and powerful throughout Reviens. It is well worth exploring.

A native of Switzerland, Silvie Rider-Young moved to the US in 2007 after meeting her husband, Austin native and pianist Red Young. Although the duo has found success performing together, Rider-Young has paved her own way by blending her powerful multi-lingual voice with jazz influences and classical inspirations. Since moving to Austin, the Swiss-American has performed at The Long Center, done pre-shows at One World Theater, and has played private events and jazz venues all over the world. Now, Rider-Young is gearing up for the release of her monumental third album. You Must Believe in Spring.
Listen to the live performance below, and make sure to catch her album release show at Parker Jazz club on October 30th, and her in-store performance at Waterloo Records on November 6th!

Review for You Must Believe in Spring
Silvie Rider-Young has been a fixture on the U.S. jazz scene since 2007. Born and raised in Switzerland, she was classically trained, was inspired to become a jazz singer after seeing Betty Carter perform, and spent time performing in Munich where she recorded her first jazz album Ride On in 2006. After meeting her future husband pianist-organist Red Young, she settled in Austin, Texas. You Must Believe In Spring is her third American album after the well-received Je Te Connais and Reviens. Ms. Rider-Young decided to name her new recording after the Bill Evans album of the same name which she remembers hearing and loving while in her early twenties when she was studying at the Swiss Jazz School (SJS) in Bern, Switzerland.
For this project, Silvie Rider-Young is joined by Red Young on piano and organ, guitarist Rick Hirsch (Billy Watts is on one number), either Roscoe Beck or Daniel Durham on bass, Daniel Dufour or Tom Brechtlein on drums, a horn section on two songs, and one guest appearance apiece by five horn soloists. The repertoire is filled with many of the singer’s favorite standards (including three by Michel Legrand) plus her own original “Viva Musica.”
Throughout You Must Believe In Spring, which covers a variety of moods, Silvie Rider-Young displays a warm, friendly, versatile and quietly expressive voice. She begins the set with a cheerful version of Jobim’s “Once I Loved” which has her interacting with tenor-saxophonist Max Abrams who is a bit reminiscent of Stan Getz. “Unforgettable” has her singing the happy lyrics quite simply with fine accompaniment from Red Young and his trio. Her voice is haunting on “You Must Believe In Spring” and she swings joyfully on “I’m Just A Lucky So & So.” The latter features her scatting a little and welcoming a few short solos from members of the horn section.
“Windmills Of Your Mind,” after a memorable piano introduction, is given a dramatic interpretation. Silvie is quite expressive on “Prelude To A Kiss” (Elias Haslinger’s spot on tenor fits right into the mood) and assertive on the swinging “Love Me Or Leave Me.” During Legrand’s “I Will Wait For You/Les Parapluies de Cherbourg” she sings in both French and English with an orchestral backing. Things get soulful on “What A Difference A Day Made” which has the singer joined by Young’s organ and the horn section. She certainly has fun on a saucy version of “I’m Walking” before thing settle down for a heartfelt “Embraceable You” and “Stormy Weather” with the latter featuring Kaz Kazanoff’s tenor. After a joyful and satisfying version of “The Good Life,” Silvie Rider-Young switches to the piano and closes the program by performing her original “Viva Musica,” a classical melody with a jazzy middle section.
You Must Believe In Spring, which features Silvie Rider-Young at her best, makes for a very enjoyable listen and a perfect introduction for those who are not already familiar with the talented Musician and Singer.

FEEDBACK from Bryan Farrish Radio Station in Santa Monica, California
written by Kenny Madrid, June 2011
June Caldwell, Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion
Artist: Silvie Rider
Album: Je Te Connais
This elegant and classy album feels as if it were recorded live, in a smoky joint once frequented by the Rat Pack. No two songs alike, Silvie Rider experiments with everything from synthesizers to Spanish guitar solos, all while tugging on the heart strings of the listeners.
Track 2 No Worry, No Hurryñ This song takes a turn for the silkier. Scat is bolstered by a sweet harmonization of the background vocals. A synthesizer fuses old school with new school jazz as elegantly as anyone has done.
Track 3 Les Feuilles Mortes/Autumn Leaves ñ The best way that one can describe this track is that it feels like love and loss all wrapped into one. It takes the listener on a sultry roller-coaster finish with the listener’s hair blown and slicked back in a better style than it began.
Track 11 Nature Boy ñ This track moves from a cigar filled bar, to a distant waterfall. Experimenting with rainmakers and other earthy instruments, this song seamlessly transitions into a remake Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy” giving this song a spin that not even Moulin Rouge could live up to.

Texas-based jazz vocalist Silvie Rider impresses with both English and French on new CD
To jazz vocalist Silvie Rider, the universal language of music is bilingual. On her new album Je Te Connais, Rider effortlessly sings in English and French, losing no emotional weight with either one. It’s no gimmick or arty pretension; they are merely flip sides of her talent, like a baseball player who can swing the bat from either side.
Rider is a commanding presence, her voice literally demanding attention with whatever tone she chooses to utilize. On her own composition, “No Worry No Hurry,” Rider is playful, her smoky vocals leading on Red Young’s swirling Hammond B3 organ.
In her version of Cole Porter’s “Everytime We Say Goodbye,” Rider is both melancholy and sultry, her feelings of romantic longing perfectly complemented by Lon Price’s crestfallen saxophone and Young’s loving piano.
Born and raised in Switzerland, Rider’s passion for music was inherited from her family, but it cut deeper than that, reaching into the recesses of her soul. “When I was six-years-old, I was visiting my Aunt Helen and uncle’s pastor (Fritz Brechtbuehl’s) at their house in Murten, Switzerland for a few days. There was a piano, and I started playing and listening to tones and sounds of the piano for hours it seemed to me. I was enchanted and absolutely mesmerized; it just felt great and right, like discovering home,” Rider remembered. “This feeling never left me. I dragged my parents to let me learn how to play the piano and then finally, at 9-years-old, I got classical piano lessons from a musician friend of my dad (Franz Sumi, a great accordion player). My dad is an accomplished accordionist and loves to play music, so yes, music is in the family.”
Throughout the years Rider’s relationship with music took on a more spiritual context. “My views on music grow generally wider and deeper by expanding my perspectives and necessary personal growth on many levels,” Rider explained. “The practice of meditation and consciousness is essential to me, too, as is reading a lot and training my body, soul, and spirit.” Nevertheless, her goals for Je Te Connais are grounded in a business sense as well. “A record deal or a booking agency is nice, too,” she said.

Silvie Rider, who is from Switzerland, is classically trained. She earned a teaching degree, spent time performing in Munich, and recorded several albums. After meeting pianist-organist Red Young in 2006, they were married and now are based out of Austin, Texas. Je Te Connais features the singer performing in both English and French with the highlights including a sensuous version of ìI Love Paris,î ìAutumn Leaves,î ìGiant Stepsî and ìNature Boy.î She also sings two of her originals, a few poppish and cabaret numbers, and some beautiful ballads. With fine accompaniment by Red Young, a rhythm section and occasional horn players (including trumpeter Ephraim Owens and flutist Alex Coke) Silvie Rider’s American debut features the singer in fine form, full of enthusiasm, and displaying her versatility and warmth. This set is available from www.silvierider.com.

Munich borne Silvie Rider moved to her husband’s (Red Young) home of Austin, Texas and recorded a half-Anglophone/half-Francophone album. If that is not the top of multicultural blending, then nothing is. Okay, but first, who is Red Young? Oddly, he would be the keyboard player of late of Eric Burdon and the Animals. Could this story grow stranger? Perhaps, only if Tiny Tim made an appearance and, gratefully, that did not happen. And if that is not enough, this is all taking place in the State of Texas, no less. With the female jazz vocalist market drowning in recordings, it would be criminal not to listen to all of them, as few of them are really bad. Broad listening better clarifies what is a good release and what is an exceptional one.
Silvie Rider’s debut, Je Te Connais (“I Know You”) is a European breath of fresh air. Her lightly accented English gives her breathy purr a hurricane’s worth of sex appeal. Couple this with husband Red Young’s keen arrangements, and Je Te Connais becomes a jazz vocal offering that rises to the top for attention. The opener, “I Love Paris” is a perfect beginning to this collection. Singing in French and English, Rider imparts a sharp sophistication to the standard. The original “No Worry, No Hurry” showcases Rider’s thick sensuality over a strutting, confident piano line. Young’s organ playing produces a complex mix that swirls.
“Autumn Leaves” is given a like presentation, with Alex Coke’s flute spicing things up nicely, giving a sharp citrus edge to Rider’s humid, languid vocals. The title piece, a Rider original, is all Serge Gainsbourg, from the whispered-spoken French introduction over a mantra beat to the lush orchestration. “Everytime We Say Good Bye,” “Tomorrow Never Knows,” and “My Foolish Heart” make up the ballad core of the recording. Rider’s voice is elastic like Betty Carter’s, and all- knowing and informed like Edith Piaf. Rider and the The Beatles both benefit of Young’s arrangement of “Tomorrow Never Knows,” with the singer’s voice doubling the propulsive head.
Rider spins John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” into the disc’s highlight, backed brightly by Young and Sam Lipman, who plays an autumn-dry saxophone Rider scats with the best of them on this exceeding difficult song. Alex Cook’s bass flute introduces a spooky, smokyt closer, “Nature Boy,” summing up the proceedings with the same drowsy sexuality that permeates the disc from beginning to end. Je Te Connais delivers on all entertainment fronts.
