Vocalist Susan Krebs with Mixed Remotions releases "DAYBREAK"

DAYBREAK is the eighth album by vocalist Susan Krebs. JazzTimes has called her “A jazz singer steeped in experience with a “no fear” soul.” The impetus for this album grew out the pandemic. Living alone, cut off from friends, she was longing for connection. She especially missed being in the creative zone with her longtime musical comrades. She felt a deep need to make music. She booked a band of dear pals and commissioned three fine arrangers. Krebs chose tunes that had long lingered in her muse’s ear as well as tunes she newly discovered. She began working on this album in September 2020 and completed it in June of 2021. It was created through the wonders of remote recording as well as one fully-vaxxed live studio session. Although much of the album was recorded remotely, it has a remarkable sense of immediacy and intimacy. Focusing on this project gave Krebs relief from her isolation and returned her to a sense of well-being. Making music collaboratively was a balm for everyone involved.
