Meeting THE Swing Out Sister

Now THIS is fate, fate, fate!

I had to bring daughter C1 to the dentist over at the 5th Floor of Megamall for a long overdue checkup (2 cavities!!!). After that we had a mother-daughter bonding time — shopping for clothes and a quick lunch at Wendy’s.

I told her I wanted to pass Powerbooks to check some books I was hoping to buy. As we passed the ground floor Atrium, beautiful jazz music was playing. Being such a jazz lover, I was of course attracted to the fairly large crowd gathered around the makeshift stage. Ooooh, there was an autograph signing going on! Wonder who it is???

So we go to the front of the stage where a lady with dark hair and bangs was sitting, signing CDs and who should it be???? Swing Out Sister’s lead singer, Corinne Drewery.

Swing Out Sister is a British jazz group from the 80s. Their kind of music is my favorite kind of jazz — smooth, sultry and pop-ish enough for C1 to love Corinne’s style of singing! It is definitely jazz at one of its finest.

Before we knew it, I was buying their latest album, Beautiful Mess, and heading up the stage to personally meet Corinne and introduce C1.

If there was one thing missing in this whole afternoon adventure, it was that I had no camera with me to record the moment. But that’s OK. We went home with Corinne’s new album playing beautiful music for us.

Here’s a sample of Corinne’s jazzy style:
