SPECTRUM IN BLUE
ANGELA BOFILL
Angela BofiU is unknown . except to Dizzy Gillespie, Downbeat and the
New York Daily News.
Before he died. Cannonball Adderley praised the 24-year-old songstress’
abilities. Dizzy Gillespie — who has performed on bills with Angie at Madison
Square Garden and the Newport Jazz Festival — sings her praises. Downbeat
called her musical talents "uncanny’ ’ and compared her singing to that o f a
"seasoned pro.” And the New York Daily News declared that “ music critics
forecast a bright future” for her.
It’s not surprising that people who’ve heard Angie know she’s loaded with po
tential. She started singing at age four, encouraged by a father who’s tenor won
numerous competitions in Latin clubs around New York. He once had the
honor o f singing with internationally-known Cuban band leader Machito.
After two years o f piano lessons from ages ten to twelve, Angie was able to
compose songs. This ultimately led to her forming a band while in high school.
Jokingly called the Puerto Rican Supremes, they played church and high school
dances. One member. Buddy Williams, appears on Angie’s debut album.
“ Angie.”
W hen Angela graduated Hunter College High School, her teachers and prin
cipal predicted she’d become famous. A t the Manhattan School o f Music she
found herself the only voice major experimenting with jazz. And while singing
with Ricardo Morrero and “ The Group,” she toured the "c u c h ifrito ” circuit
o f small Latin clubs and recorded a single, “ M y Friend,” which got her
nominatea for best Latin female vocalist by Latin New York m a g a rin e
After leaving Morrero's band at age 21 to go solo, Angie composed a multi-
media jazz suite, "Under the Moon and Over the S ky," which she performed in
association with the Brooklyn Academy o f Music. She also sang with Capitol
Records reggae group Inner Circle at New Y ork’s Bottom Line, Cleveland’s
Bogart’s and the Stardust in Los Angeles.
Angie was a lead soloist with New Y ork’s Dance Theater o f Harlem Chorus,
for which she also arranged and occasionally composed and conducted. She has
performed at Madison Square Garden on the bill with such artists as Stan Getz,
Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa and Bob Hope. And she headlined numerous
northeastern jazz clubs at the helm o f her own quartet.
Brought to Dave Crusin and Larry Rosen o f GRP Records by flautist Dave
V alentin, Angie recorded her debut album by day while traveling bv night to
Philadelphia's Shubert Theater to work with the Dance Theater o f Harlem.
Listen to "A n g ie ” and you’ ll agree: Angela B ofill has established an im
pressive track record and has a promising future . . . especially fo r an
unknown.
