Singin A Sonny Song

What music journalist, Jeff Davis wrote about Karen Taborn in 1990 still holds true today. 'Far from flamboyant, Taborn has an appealingly unaffected voice. She uses dynamics and a horn player's ear for phrasing to draw out the emotional depths of original material, Brazilian tunes and jazz standards. In other words, Taborn is a jazz singer, not a saloon shouter; her approach to performing is about taste and swing, not flash and brass.' In this much anticipated CD debut, Karen draws upon two distinct periods of her musical life separated by twenty years. Yet the same passion and dedication for quality music making ties the compilation together across time and through the musical genres of jazz, Americana/singer song writer material and Brazilian bossas. Karen is joined here by some of New York City's finest musicians including Jimmy Lovelace (drums), Freddie Bryant (Guitar), Danny Mixon (piano), Avishai Cohen (bass) and Miles Griffith (voice). Don't hold back. Enjoy this musical journey across time!
