Chicago Inspirational Jazz Songstress Takes Over The Globe With Her Debut Album

CHICAGO - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Her debut album, The Longest Journey” was definitely one of her longest journeys as she began hitting the ground running in 2000. This album offers up Inspirational Jazz & Soul with the lyrical likings of powerful Inspirational Soul Artists such as Jill Scott, Ledisi, Esperanza Spalding & CeCe Winans. The album combines poignant lyrics with the feel good sounds of soul and jazz— all with a touch of Sunday morning church.

Tina Jenkins Crawley is staking her claim in the Inspirational Jazz & Soul Music world and proves that she is a force to be reckoned with. The Longest Journey is a testament to her perseverance, God’s faithfulness and a sheer determination to create timeless worship music with hopes that those around the world would want to seek and know God.  Her ultimate goal is to give the many talents that God has given her back to Him for His glory.

Tina has received countless opportunities to work with many well- known artists on various projects. She has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many gifted artists, both sacred and secular, including Mavis Staples, Paul Rodgers of Bad Company, Anthony David, and internationally acclaimed violinist Roddy Chong.  She has lent her voice to music videos (with artists R. Kelly and Celine Dion), commercials and a myriad of special features. Most recently, Tina shot the music video for Suddenly, another one of the tracks of her album, and it was the feature song for the independent film, Jump In. http://youtu.be/-oxtD4e4tlk



Her uplifting, innovative sound has been the perfect marriage of Jazz/Soul & Contemporary Christian/Gospel music. Her album has already been called the freshest take on Inspirational Music in years. Satellite music services have her music in rotation, including XM/SIRIUS.  She has been featured in several publications and has performed several power packed shows throughout Chicagoland. Tina is a faithful member of the Chicago Church of Christ and has been blessed to be a Guest Worship Leader at various churches across the country.

The debut album “The Longest Journey” is currently available for purchase on iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon.com and also on her Pandora station. Tina is currently performing with the famed Larry King Orchestra (www.larrykingorchestra.com).
