An inspiring, eclectically jazzy mix of standards and originals, this long-awaited debut from one of the founding members of the Grammy-winning vocal ensemble, New York Voices, surpasses all expectations. Produced by her husband, trombonist Jay Ashby, and featuring a spirited array of jazz greats (Gary Burton, John Pizza relli, Paquito D’Rivera), the collection is a thoughtful and engaging mix of lighthearted swing tunes, ballads and world music that showcases not only Nazarian’s exquisite solo vocals and spot-on scatting abilities, but also her illuminating talents as a lyricist and arranger.
