Amanda Carr - Live in San Giorgio - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Recorded in 1996, Carr Toons was intended by Amanda Carr to merely test her pedigree and create a modest demo of vocal jazz standards. Formally a rock and pop singer, Amanda finally followed in the musical footnotes of her parents and entered the jazz gen. Original Music.2005.

After making her mark on Jazz Week with Tender Trap in 2005, Amanda Carr releases Soon, with her signature guitar trio led by John Wilkins and produced by drummer, Kenny Hadley. This 12-song homage to the Great American Songbook is executed with flair and style, but remains organic with her trademark taste in tunes, arrangements and musicians. Her distinctive sound and natural phrasing reign over a landscape populated with vocal acrobatics, again proving she has the depth and maturity to deliver this material, yet with a delightful vulnerability that keeps it accessible and fresh.

Amanda Carr is fresh and captivating in her honest delivery of the American Songbook. With her 'Tender Trap', she ensnarls the unsuspecting listener who's initial curiosity soon has them putting this CD permanently in their multi-disc changer as a favorit. Original Music. 2005.
