Phyllis Chapell is one of a kind. With a repertoire that includes songs sung in 13 languages, her style of international music and "world songs" has been developed and honed over many years. And the result is a singular musical experience for the audience. She is comfortable in so many genres, including American folk, jazz and popular music, and then add in a dose of her originals to round it all out. She has recently been named as one of the top 500 jazz vocalist of all time by renowned music writer Scott Yanow. And if that wasn't enough, the video for her song "Howling Wolf" has recently been awarded the Bronze Medal in the 2025 Global Music Awards. It was a pleasure to talk to her about her unique musical journey.
