| Belinda Underwood and Friends CD Release Concert  Belinda Underwood celebrates the release of her new jazz album, the much anticipated followup to her 2005 debut "Underwood Uncurling." Both the show and the album feature legendary pianist/composer/arranger Benny Green (Betty Carter, Ray Brown, Art Blakey), master bassist Phil Baker (Diana Ross, Diane Schuur, Pink Martini), percussionist/composer Martin Zarzar (Pink Martini, Al-Alandalus), and surprise guests. These fine players create a cohesive unit that swings hard while Belinda's emotive vocals and poignant lyrics also reveal a sweet sensitivity."…the emotional thrust of her vocals and the lyrical imagery of her original songs are the product of a seasoned creative mind." - Don Heckman, L.A.
