It's Basia's first real bit of professional singing: a girl group (presumably from Poland) that toured Europe, particularly spending lots o' time in Russia, according to Ms. T. :) >I read in a french interview that Basia, when she was eighteen, met a >famous jazzman called Christophe Chadowsky that told her: "...you have >great voice, but you have to learn how to use it...". That incites her >to take singing courses. >What fans know about it ???. Wow, you're good, you have the guys name! :) She once told the story that after winning a talent competition at 16, a jazz musician on the panel told her just that, that she needed to learn to sing since she had no technique. She counts it as a turning point to picking a life of music. You don't happen to have that interview still, do you? It would be cool to hear yeat another foreign press perspecitve. - --Leslie (wish me luck, you guys- big job interview tomorrow with an ad agency in Detroit!) > >Regards > >Faf. > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 11:47:42 PST From: "Leslie Brown" Subject: Re: A Basia Moment >Of course, I am sure that Leslie, our resident Basia historian can tell you >the exact numbers. :-D Ha ha! :) Well, I have to get back to the full detais later, but suffice to say that New Day For You did score number one on an Adult Contemporary chart- NOT Billboard tho', which is kinda the numero uno chart. I do believe it was the Radio and Records chart, but like I said, I'll have to get back to you on that one. Expect a dissertation soon!

Someone had stated Pizza Express but that does not seem logical. Could it be The Pizza in the Park, this I think is a Jazz venue. I would be grateful for your assistance.
