Pippi Ardennia

The following testimonials are examples that demonstrate how Pippi is more than a singer, song writer & song stylist... “Thank you for the CD! WOW!!! You are an incredibly gifted musician. So, you actually gave me 2 gifts! Ha Ha! I was a little stressed when I started the CD, and by „Black Coffee‟ I was groovin‟ as I was cruisin‟ to get to my lunch date”... Gretchen. Another admirer says, “Her voice has been described as an instrument; another master has emerged, as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Washington.” Pippi is a natural entertainer, sultry at times, always powerful and exciting, but what sweeps you away is the electric and sensual emotion that emanates from her to you, telling a story in song like you’ve never heard before; a natural power in nature.

Pippi Ardennia…a Chicago native, singing since she was 13 years old, has performed at many of Chicago's most respected music and jazz clubs from the Burning Spear, High Chaparral, Capitol Theater, Redhead, Green Dolphin, Chicago Symphony Center, the Taste of Chicago, Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, MN and on Chicago’s internationally famous Rush Street. She has appeared at Mr. Kelly’s, The Rosebud, The Backroom, and Chicago’s elite private Tavern Club. She has performed for such notables as President Clinton, Mayor Daley, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli and more. She’s been featured in commercials, on TV, and on numerous radio interviews.

Liza Minnelli said, "Pippi, you have a great voice, you‟re great.” The great jazz trumpeter, Freddy Hubbard said, “People will know Pippi!” Ramsey Lewis said, “You know what you‟re doing.”

“Ms. Ardennia's classy style puts her in the Major League of jazz vocalists. Her easy-going style and varied delivery does stand in comparison to the great jazz divas such as Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne."--Ian Tiele, President, Brookfield Jazz Society.

Pippi’s new CD, ‘Love So Good,’ is a work of original jazz compositions and standards in the true PipJazz™ style, to be released in 2007.

Pippi’s ‘Black Coffee‟ CD is a collection of jazz classics from the Great American Songbook which is hard to beat; “A monument to a magical musical era now long gone by.”---Allen Hall.
