Description
Acclaimed soprano Patrice Michaels, a formidable interpretative talent" (The New Yorker), a vocalist of uncommon intellect and sophisticated wit who taps into her training as a composer, has assembled a singular collection of songs, including one she composed, which give the silvery-voiced singer and her stellar instrumental collaborators room to gently improvise and swing in surprising and always-rewarding ways.The program ranges from jazz-influenced classical works to contemporary pieces.INTERSECTION includes liner notes by Neil Tesser, veteran jazz critic, writer, and radio host; author of the The Playboy Guide to Jazz; and winner of the 2014 Grammy award for "Best Album Notes" for his essay for Concord Music Group's remastered and expanded reissue of John Coltrane's Afro Blue Impressions."
