About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: Acclaimed as one of the great new jazz singers, Robin McKelle has been taking risks, redefining her artistic identity and mining her inspirations in blues and soul music. Though much of this Rochester, New York natives career has been based in Europe, her latest record finds her drawn to the core of American blues and soul, the HEART OF MEMPHIS. It's in the cradle of the Blues that she imagined making this explosive album in the great soul tradition of the 60/70s, adding a contemporary touch with her songwriting.

Robin McKelle released an album of traditional swing jazz recorded with a big band Introducing Robin McKelle in 2006, and after a NPR segment on Robin, the album jumped to the top the Billboard and Amazon charts. Soon the jazz world was ecstatically talking about the next Ella Fitzgerald, and comparing her favorably to the likes of Nancy Wilson.
