Swings from the first note, beautiful, soulful, simply stated interpretations.

NICOLE PASTERNAK: Don't Go, Don't Leave, Please Stay

Acoustically handled, energetically delivered -fresh arrangements on vintage standards, plus a couple of originals thrown in for good measure (including the title cut), this is done-in-a-day studio recording with a relaxing attitude.

NICOLE PASTERNAK: In A Word

Vocalist Nicole Pasternak; featuring Don Friedman, piano; Dennis Irwin, bass and special guest Ralph Lalama, tenor saxophone.

Wise, unassuming interplay between vocalist and musicians; melodiously arranged.

ROXY PERRY: New York Blues Queen

Now Roxy Perry, she's a belter. With a big, sassy, brassy voice capable of directing the traffic made her seven-piece backup band, she can also take a country stroll, as she does on her own acoustic slide Delta blues double entendre thing, the fine "Tailgate Swing." This recording is packed with polished, soulful urban blues.
