FEATURING SINGERS COURTNEY LEMMON,
GINA SAPUTO AND CRYSTAL STARR
Jazz Pianist George
Kahn felt his fans were ready for a change, so he formed the Jazz & Blues Revue. More than just another jazz ensemble
this time around, the Jazz & Blues
Revue brings three of the best singers in Los Angeles together to perform
unique arrangements of jazz standards along with other well-known songs, in a
wonderful blend of Jazz, R&B and Soul.
The album has 13 new, creative arrangements of jazz
and blues standards like Cantaloupe Island, Rock Me Baby, Beat Me Daddy Eight
To The Bar, God Bless The Child, Summertime and Afro Blue.
Singer Courtney
Lemmon has appeared on several of George’s albums and most recently released
her debut CD “STAY WITH ME”, teaming her with Grammy Award winning Producer
Michael Acosta. Gina Saputo was
among seven musicians chosen by Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, and Wayne
Shorter to study at the Thelonius Monk Institute. She performs regularly and
also teaches singing at the Musicians Institute. Crystal Starr has
performed as a backup singer for Ariana Grande, as well as legendary greats
Smokey Robinson, John Legend and Joss Stone. She recently performed on Broadway in “Baby It’s You!”.
Renowned musicians Eric Marienthal (Sax), Dr.
Bobby Rodriguez (trumpet), Lyman Medeiros (Bass) and M. B. Gordy (Drums/Percussion) are
featured on the new album, along
