Evening Star Records: Deborah Pearl: Souvenir of You – New Lyrics to Benny Carter Classics

		Deborah Pearl: Souvenir of You – New Lyrics to Benny Carter Classics (ES-115)
		The debut release from multitalented vocalist/lyricist Deborah Pearl is a remarkable musical memento that’s been two lifetimes in the making! The brilliant instrumental melodies of multiple Grammy-winning jazz legend Benny Carter have been given voice through the lyrics and singing of Ms. Pearl, whose deep friendship with Carter and his beloved wife Hilma served as inspiration for this truly wondrous work. Features Lou Forestieri (piano/arranger); bassists Chris Colangelo and Kenny Wild; drummers Dave Karasony and Jimmy Branly, and two tracks backed by Benny Carter himself with his big band (from the 1992 “Harlem Renaissance” CD on MusicMasters). "... a magnificent collaboration. There are happy feet in Heaven and soon the world will be kicking up its heels in sheer delight at this great music. And by the way, you can sing your ass off Baby!" -- Phil Woods For track listing, audio samples, and to order: www.cdbaby.com/cd/deborahpearl For more information on Deborah Pearl: www.deborahpearl.com
