Got a Hunger for Tasty Jazz Music? Blues for Breakfast Will Be Sure to Satisfy Your Jazz Cravings

Jan. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Blues for Breakfast, the highly anticipated new jazz album from sultry pianist/vocalist Kathy Sanborn, releases March 8, 2011 through the Pacific Coast Jazz label, with digital downloads available February 1st. Blues for Breakfast treats you to a sumptuous feast of lively, memorable tunes and sensual, heartfelt ballads. The album also features GRAMMY® nominee Scott Petito's distinctive bass, Chris Carey's sizzling drums, and Wayne Ricci's soulful trumpet.

The Blues for Breakfast pièce de résistance is Kathy Sanborn herself: not only did she compose all of the album's ten songs, she arranged and produced the project as well. As if that weren't enough to impress, Sanborn's signature velvet voice delights with every leap and spin, while gliding gracefully from lighthearted pieces to deeply emotional songs.

The red-hot title track, “Blues For Breakfast," showcases Sanborn's love of jazz history and her affection for the famed musicians of the 1930s-50s who performed on New York's 52nd Street. Sanborn says: “I wrote the song, ‘Blues for Breakfast,’ as a fond tribute to the jazz masters of days gone by. On New York's 52nd Street, the greats would 'walk the high wire' and enthrall and inspire new generations of jazz players. As jazz continues to evolve in the modern era, I imagine the masters are looking down and nodding their approval."

Critics agree, Sanborn’s sensual voice is exceptionally fine: John Shelton Ivany says, “Kathy Sanborn is able to convey emotional truths with a sound no one else can produce--a quavering joy that works equally well over an ocean or acoustic chords of ballads. No one else sings like that.”

Blues for Breakfast is a tasty musical treat that jazz lovers will want to savor over and over again.
