| Kathy Sanborn’s Blues for Breakfast Releases in Digital Format Blues for Breakfast, the hot new jazz album from sultry pianist/vocalist Kathy Sanborn, releases February 1, 2011 for digital download through popular online vendors such as Amazon.com. The CD version of Blues for Breakfast officially releases in stores March 8, 2011. Blues for Breakfast treats you to a sumptuous feast of lively, memorable tunes and sensual, heartfelt ballads. The album also features GRAMMY nominee Scott Petito's distinctive bass, Chris Carey's sizzling drums, and Wayne Ricci's soulful trumpet. Nosolosmoothjazz.com says, "Kathy Sanborn brilliantly alternates ballads with upbeat music as demonstrated by songs like 'Secret Paradise, ' 'Waterfall, ' 'Blame It On A Kiss, ' 'Tell Me Goodbye, ' 'Painted Blue, ' or the impeccable 'Blues For Breakfast.' Sensuality, freshness and well-constructed melodies are the common denominator of Blues For Breakfast." JazzTimes says, "Steamy . . .Classic jazz with a torchlight finish . . ." The fiery title track, "Blues for Breakfast, " showcases Sanborn's love of jazz history and her affection for the famed musicians of the 1930s-50s who performed on New York's 52nd Street. Sanborn says: "I wrote the song, 'Blues for Breakfast, ' as a fond tribute to the jazz masters of days gone by. On New York's 52nd Street, the greats would 'walk the high wire' and enthrall and inspire new generations of jazz players. As jazz continues to evolve in the modern era, I imagine the masters are looking down and nodding their approval." Critics agree, Sanborn's velvet voice is exceptionally fine: John Shelton Ivany says, "Kathy Sanborn is able to convey emotional truths with a sound no one else can produce-a quavering joy that works equally well over an ocean or acoustic chords of ballads. No one else sings like that." Blues for Breakfast is a tasty musical treat that jazz lovers will want to savor over and over again. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
