With her sixth album, Catherine Russell journeys to the blue heart of the great African American songbook. Swinging forth with soulful interpretations, Catherine taps the golden age in Harlem, as befits this vibrant daughter of jazz. Vocalists Ethel Waters, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington provide inspiration where tunesmiths like Benny Carter, Irving Berlin, Andy Razaf and Fats Waller once ruled the roost of a renaissance which continues to reverberate.
Musicians: Catherine Russell - vocals, Mark Shane - piano,
Matt Munisteri - guitar, Tal Ronen - bass, Mark McLean - drums, Jon-Erik Kellso -trumpet, Mark Lopeman - sax, arranger, John Allred - trombone

Saw Catherine Russell yesterday at the Charlie Parker Festival....she is brilliant. I am embarrassed to say I have not heard her before. No one like her out there today. She is authentic and should get the attention she deserves.

[@elliesings9508]

I noticed her on the Grammy 2017 Jazz nominee list. I, embarrassingly, had never heard of her. She's wonderful!! Love, Love, Love this music and her voice. AND of course all of the pics of the Jazz Greats of all-time.

[@murph3001]

She takes great songs from years gone bye and makes them greater _____ she's magnificent ___ right to the top ___ Cat the great

[@otrfan84128]

Catherine Russell is amazing. No affectations, no distractions, just incredible talent and an uncanny ability to add a special touch to everything she sings. This is a beautiful video. I have been buying her CDs ever since hearing her on Radio Deluxe, and look forward to every new release.

Saw her just the other day in Greenwich. Wow! She is the complete package. Amazing voice, great stage presence, wonderful songbook to choose from, and serious bona fides. She's a superstar.

Em'ralds in my bracelets and diamonds in my rings A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things And I'm blue, so blue am I Lots of ready money in seven diff'rent banks I counted up this morning, it's about a million francs And I'm blue, so blue, and I know why I've got Harlem on my mind I've a longing to be lowdown And my "parlez-vous" will not ring true With Harlem on my mind I've been wined and I've been dined But I'm heading for a showdown 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn With Harlem on my mind I go to supper with a French Marquis Each evening after the show My lips begin to whisper "Mon Cheri" But my heart keeps singing "Hi-de-ho" I've become too darn refined And at night I hate to go down To the high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed With Harlem on my mind Em'ralds in my bracelets, diamonds in my rings A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things And I'm blue, so blue am I Lots of ready money in seven diff'rent banks I counted up this morning, it was 'bout a million francs And I'm blue, so blue, and I know why I've got Harlem on my mind And I'm longin' to be lowdown And my "parlez-vous" will not ring true With Harlem on my mind I've been dined and I've been wined But I'm headin' for a showdown 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn With Harlem on my mind I go to supper with a French Marquis Each evening after the show My lips begin to whisper "Mon Cheri" But my heart keeps singin' "Hi-de-ho" I've become too damned refined And at night I hate to go down To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed With Harlem on my mind I've got Harlem on my mind And I'm longing to be lowdown And my "parlez-vous" will not ring true With Harlem on my mind I've been dined and I've been wined But sure as your born I'm headin' for a showdown 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn With Harlem on my mind And when I'm bathing in my marble tub Each evening after the show I get to thinkin' 'bout that Cotton Club And my heart starts chirping "Hi-de-ho" Help me! I've been too damned refined And at night I hate to go down To that flat with fifty million Frenchmen taggin' behind With Harlem on my mind
