"Connie Moore has discovered the voice that rested deep in her soul, the individual inner voice that has only one owner...Her compositions have power and reflect a burning desire to seek positive enlightenment from a perilous journey, positive reflection being her intuitive response to the challenges of life's circumstances..." (Jean-Paul Bourelly)
"Cornelia sings from a deep place, her voice resonates lush and low... (Her) singing is heartfelt and dramatic; it's dark beauty is haunting." (Ferdinand Maylin/Jazz Now)
"Her philosophy is that image should reflect who you are and what your music is and she lives by that philosophy. Just hearing her sing on a recording you are drawn by her expressive nature. Seeing her on stage takes you to quite another level. Cornelia doesn't just sing, she lives what she sings..." (Lionel Haas/JazzRadio Berlin)
Cornelia Moore is a voice-paintress. Blessed with an instrument that spans more than four octaves, the singer-composer-lyricist creates a multiplicity of shadings, transforming them into sound paintings that transfer her listeners to a more vulnerable, sensitive and creative world, thus evoking personal images and emotions. With her sensuous treatment of jazz literature, her courage to take risks, and her desire to explore the unknown, Cornelia Moore expresses and reflects all shades of human experience.
The Berlin-based artist studied voice, piano and composition with various teachers, further molding and redefining their concepts into a continuum of self expression. Breathing and voice therapist Margarethe Seyd taught Cornelia the potentiality of kinesthetic awareness as the source of tone; songstress Jocelyn B. Smith empowered her with the art of vocal cushioning and texturizing ; and finally, Bel Canto tenor Alex Curiotis passed on to Cornelia the Italian tradition of shaping the acoustic spaces of the vowels in order to create beautifully enriched sounds that express the innate emotional content of any language. Guitarist-composer-singer-producer Jean-Paul Bourelly as well as her husband, New York pianist-composer-arranger Reggie Moore gave Cornelia the "jump start" she needed to find her own personal sound.
