Description
Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, arranger and producer, Margo Rey, presents a modern American & Latin American songbook with 'The Roots of Rey'.
Margo Rey has had a rich career of performance and songwriting, including eight Billboard Top 20 hits over the years. 'The Roots Of Rey' is Margo conceptualizing and embracing her roots as an accomplished Latin Jazz musician, presenting a modern American & Latin American songbook reimagined for the times. Performed by Rey in English and Spanish and arranged by multi-Grammy-winning pianist, Oscar Hernandez (Spanish Harlem Orchestra), the 13 songs cover some of the most memorable work from composers like Leon Russell, Hoagy Carmichael, and Michel LeGrand, and also includes an inspired 10-year anniversary salsa arrangement of Rey's original jazz composition, "My Heart's Desire".
"...a velvety sensuality within which one can discern a very well trained voice. Fans of Nora Jones and Sade have much to celebrate because the intimate vocalizations of Margo Rey with her rich and sensual voice evokes these figures but in Rey's case, she does it with a personal and modern twist." - American Airlines Magazine.
