JAZZ PORTRAIT - 10 jazz & blues songs from the heart...sung with soul!
2002 GRAMMY AWARD Nominations for Best Jazz Vocal - Best Liner Notes - Best New Artist
Available from all major download services

     I have tried to provide a front row seat to a fulfilling listening experience by capturing the           essence of one of my live sets, but within the control of a studio environment.  Much like           being with me in a performance, I chose music that varies in style, era, tempo, dynamics,         vocal range & theme within the jazz genre.  From the jazz aficionato to the casual easy             listening fan, there is something here for everyone.  Welcome, take your favorite seat &           enjoy the set!

Recorded Live at Studio A, Dearborn Heights, Michigan on June 16, 2001,
except for "Nature Boy,"which was recorded on June 27, 2001.
Minimal overdubs and sweetening/editing on percussion, horns, guitar or voice.
