Aria Prame is pitch-perfect in debut CD ‘Lost And Lookin’
"In the Spring of 2010, Seattle jazz vocalist Aria Prame got inspired to lay down tracks with her favorite musicians, the guys who’ve backed her for many, many gigs… guys like pianist/arranger Eric Verlinde, bassist Chuck Kistler, saxophonist Clark Gibson, and drummer Jeremy Jones.
The result is a special gem of a debut album entitled, “Lost And Lookin’” — made special because Prame can do wonders with any song, whether it’s a standard, torch, Latin, country twang, soaring cantata gospel, or a heavy scat-worthy blues line. Her voice is uniquely suited to the highest standards of jazz, a deeply lush, shape-shifting instrument of subdued passion and intimate restraint, and endlessly evocative."

The Seeker: Aria Prame was born to sing
"There’s more to young and lovely Seattle jazz vocalist Aria Prame than just singing. As a singer, she’s almost unparalleled in her control, power, interpretation and innate groove, able to turn almost any tune into a jazz standard in an instant.
But Prame gives careful and in-depth consideration to the music she sings, beyond the notes, pitch, set list, and the next gig. She thinks about our human soul connection and music’s magical ability to tap into that connection."

"That voice. Put Aria Prame in a crowd and that voice will single her out every time. The Seattle vocalist hits every note, turns every phrase, and rounds every melodic corner with unmatched finesse, perfect pitch, and a deeply emotive personality full of verdant possibilities.
Doesn’t matter what the music is. Call it country, soul, standard, straight ahead. Prame will sing it right but with her own indelible, bluesy, worldly style—crucial in the competitive world of jazz singers."

Aria Prame serves up rich jazz notes at Cafe Amore
"She performed a standard Ms. Wilson is famous the world over for, the 1955 Buddy Johnson hit, “Save Your Love For Me” – without a flaw to be heard. Prame’s voice was deeply seductive, knowing when to inflect and when to pause. I’ve heard this song sung by others, often as an innocent debutante bemoaning a schoolgirl crush. But in Prame’s hands, this is no schoolgirl or crush; it’s a very adult, very experienced awareness of the trappings of lust and need."
