Sultry Jazz Singer Kathy Sanborn Releases Steamy Romance Language
PrAtlas/22778143

NEW YORK - PrAtlas -- .Award-winning jazz vocalist and composer Kathy Sanborn presents her ninth album, complete with ten original songs in English, Spanish, a touch of French, and a hint of Italian. Hence the title, Romance Language, which not only refers to the languages sung on the album, but the mood of the project. This is romance at its best, beginning with the title track dedicated to Hollywood movie studio trumpeter Uan Rasey, who is best known for his riveting solo work in the film, Chinatown.

Sanborn tells plenty of musical stories in Romance Language, and the stories are largely optimistic ones. From the intriguingly bluesy "Never Blue," to the bright, playful "Sonrisa," Sanborn explores the human condition and reminds the listener that tomorrow is a better day. "Cambios," with its mysterious mood, tells the listener that change can be positive, while "Si Bon (So Good)" continues the affirmative vibe.

"Después De Las Lágrimas" (meaning "After the Tears") speaks to every listener about taking small steps toward new possibilities, while the bouncy "El Viaje" describes each individual's "train ride" through life.

Sanborn offers up a "Romance Language" reprise as well, again written for trumpeter Uan Rasey (Homage to a Trumpeter). This version, as well as the first track on the album, features trumpeter Wayne Ricci's deft performances as he tips his proverbial hat to Uan Rasey – one trumpeter to another.

"Otro" is a tale of finding new love following the end of a deep relationship. The song has a bittersweet feel, and Sanborn's haunting vocals tell a tale of both regret and new beginnings. The last album track, "El Jardín De La Vida," is an engaging, upbeat tune that will certainly leave the listener with a smile.

Marc Myers of JazzWax.com says, "It's easily the summer's most sultry album with a jazzy humidity and caressing restraint."

According to Skopemag.com, "Sensuous tone . . . soul-stirring . . . enchanting vocals hit your eardrums and they are smooth as butter. This is a jazz record that you will want to check out and add to your playlist NOW!"

All About Jazz says,  "A kind of late-night, noir, on-the-rooftop sound that works very well. "

Sanborn performs all vocals and keyboards on the album, and is joined by Wayne Ricci on trumpet.
