Anyone
seeking respite from Zouk in Jalan Ampang may want to pop over the Lobby Lounge of the newly-refurbished
Hotel Maya Kuala Lumpur, just across the road.
Singer Clair Vanessa Rozells (left) combines the pop style
of Norah
Jones, with the expressive, velvety tones of Sarah
Vaughn. Her vocal
interpretations of jazz, evergreens and
contemporary ballads fit nicely with the flowing waters and
and bamboo themed Hotel, Maya which
touts itself as an "urban
boutique resort" |
Rozells, 27, shows her versatility with
songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank
Sinatra, Louis Armstrong,
Nat King Cole,
the Beatles, The Bee Gees and Alicia Keys.
She has performed professionally for over eight years, and once
front-lined legendary band, The
Strollers. She is also the daughter of Penang-based music veteran
James Rozells, who runs a popular country and western outlet in
Batu Feringghi.
