Hello Everyone, Welcome back to my site. I am excited to announce that I have just finished a new CD currently titled, “Burt Bacharach Songbook”. The great Hubert Laws has joined me in an exploration of Burt Bacharach and Hal David classics including, “What the World Needs Now”, “Never Fall in Love Again”, “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,” and more. I am so amazed at the talent of Hubert Laws. He always plays something unique and unexpected. The sincerity in his playing is like no other flutist in the world. Also, on this CD are the top musicians from my hometown of Kansas City who I borrowed from another local jazz vocalist and 3 time Grammy nominee, Karrin Allyson; Danny Embrey on guitar, Joe Cartwright on piano, Bob Bowman on bass and Tim Cambron on drums. Luis Conte added his percussion talent to many of the songs as well and Eric Liljestrand who won a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Jazz album, 2004, polished it off with his great mixing talents. After moving home to Kansas City I discovered that one of my favorite songwriters, Burt Bacharach, was also born in Kansas City. This motivated me to attempt to re-harmonize these famous classics and put my own twist on them vocally. I added one original song entitled, “My Melody” just for fun. The CD is due August 18, 2009. I hope you enjoy it and have a fabulous summer! God Bless, Carol Duboc |
