Take a journey with Stephanie Nakasian .....begin with optimistic love, wind through heartbreak and dissolution, to return to hope in a carefully selected span of songs paralleling the global malaise that has begun to stimulate innovative changes throughout the world in promise of a brighter future. In complete synchronicity with master improvisational pianist Harris Simon, Stephanie dynamically breaks the guidelines of bar-lines and rhythms from her traditional swing and bebop roots with exuberant poly rhythms and exotic harmonies. You will be transformed as Stephanie masterfully “shows the way” in a voice that is fresh and expressively invigorating! Known as one of the world’s leading jazz singers, Stephanie Nakasian will take you on a melodic voyage, fresh and authentic that transcends the Great Ladies of Song in both tribute and originality.

The band backing up Stephanie includes Hod O’Brien on piano, Randy Sandke on trumpet, Tom Hamilton on tenor, John Jensen on trombone, Hovie Collins on rhythm guitar, Steve Gilmore on bass and Bill Goodwin on drums. The arrangements attempt to approximate the originals and were prepared by Hod O’Brien and Stephanie. The booklet contains descriptions of each selection with an explanation of some of the techniques used by each vocalist whose style is being interpreted. More than anything else, this CD further reveals the wide range of technique that Stephanie Nakasian is capable of. To a great extent, she captures the feeling and manner of each of the great vocalists that she has chosen to present.

Stories about the Jazz Life, by Hod O'Brien.
“This book is not intended to be a strictly biographical text, but, rather a collection of funny, little incidents and stories I’ve witnessed and heard along my way, on my path as a freelance jazz musician over the past 60 years of my professional life.
It’s intended mostly for fans of mine, whomever and wherever you all are, and fellow musicians, who might be interested in hearing a little bit more about me from another perspective, rather than from just my music and recordings alone. . . . The jazz community is a small, but hip part of the world, of which I’m happy and proud to be a member, and to whom I wish to express my deep gratitude — to those of you in it and interested in my work.”
$20.00
This is Hod's first solo release (recorded June 15-18 2009 on Philology W442.2). It features tunes associated with the repertoire of Chet Baker, including such signature tunes as Let's Get Lost, Line for Lyons, and one of his most requested ones My Funny Valentine.
