The Artist: CHARMAINE CLAMOR [clah-MORE] is the first Filipina to find success on American jazz radio. Backed by Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, and Ray Brinker, members of the Grammy-nominated Tierney Sutton Band, Clamor melds American jazz, blues, and soul with traditional Filipino folk music, creating a new hybrid genre she calls “jazzipino.” Flippin’ Out features Filipino guest artists like Julius Tolentino (Sharp Nine), Ric Ickard (Naxos), and the Hawaiian ukulele master Abe Lagrimas, Jr., as well as the ancient Filipino percussion ensemble called the kulintang. It’s “world” music for jazz listeners.
