NEW “Spirits Even Brighter” a follow up EP just in time for the Holidays!
"Baking Spirits Bright” is a tribute to classic holiday jazz inspired by her love of timeless vocalists Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby mixed with the classic piano-trio golden age of Bill Evans and his contemporaries. A departure from her operatic roots, it is a love letter to classic holiday jazz tradition.
"Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. Joyful memories from childhood decorating the christmas tree, baking cookies with my family and watching holiday classics. I hope this collection of songs makes your holidays brighter and provides the soundtrack to the heartfelt nostalgia of Christmas's past, and many more wonderful holiday seasons to come.”
