FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - JAZZ VOCAL CATEGORY
Produced by two-time GRAMMY winner Bob Stander, SONGBOOK VOLUME 2 is Marla Lewis' second recording of original tunes that harken back to the Great American Songbook, drawing from smooth jazz, samba, cabaret, swing, and the blues.
Tracks include:
- “Enchantée,” written with Laura Baron, a sassy samba that reached Number One on the World Indie and Number Two on the Euro Indie Charts!
- "Viens Chez Moi Ce Soir", a swing ballad that Eartha Kitt might have sung
- "This is Only a Test", Be-bop!
- “Claudette's Song,” a bluesy ballad that tells the story of an American hero
- “Jump at the Chance,” a flirty swing tune
The Amazing Players supporting Marla's vocals are:
- Teddy Kumpel - guitar
- Rob Jost - acoustic bass
- Matt Miller - drums
- Mike Ricchuiti - piano
