In a Midnight Wind

I am a singer with many musical incarnations.  Making this CD, with such excellent musicians, has fulfilled a dream, indeed, a dream that almost died, but, true to Life, has been reborn. 

I have performed in Europe, in Russia and, of course, here.  I recorded the CD at NRS Studios, Catskill, NY and also in Sarasota, FL at Spirit Ranch Recording with Bud Snyder, and also at Baysound Studios for mixing and mastering, 

In A Midnight Wind is an album that includes not only jazz standards, but some Brazilian and a few originals.  l have written many, many  songs in my  life.  My goal, my artistic goal, is really to touch people.  To move them.  When I was doing my Graduate work in Jazz Performance and Composition at SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music, studying with Jon Faddis, I had to write a thesis at the end.  I called my thesis, 'The Power of the Lament: Dr. Billie Holiday".  It was about that exchange that takes place energetically between the singer or musician and the listener.  That is what I want.  I want the listener to feel what I feel.  That is singing for me.
