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

She is a singer in the mode of Dinah Washington. Brilliant. Great small group accompaniment

[@christophercardenas157]

Like The Queen, the one and only Miss D, Dinah Washington---who co-wrote "Let Me Be The First To Know," Catherine Russell feels this song, knows these are not just lyrics but a real painful tale of heartbreak. I dedicate this song to all of you that DO NOT know what this song is about, I hope you never experience what Catherine Russell is singing here. Catherine, yes, me too, I have lived this song...when you no longer care and my dreams you no longer share, Sing it for me, Catherine Russell---Dinah is looking down at you and smiling---Christopher Cardenas/Andromeda International Records

I think it is great that she supports the disabled by employing a headless piano player (as seen at 1:28 and 4:03).
