Easy to Love is a most appropriate title for the recording debut album of vocalist Kate MsGarry.
Right from the voice-bass intro of "My Heart Stood Still" you know that this is to be no run-of-the-mill program. An immediate reaction may be to notice the exceptional diction and enunciation and the distinctive phrasing that McGarry demonstrates.
It is not surprising to learn that her greatest influences have been such unique stylists as Jon Hendricks, Betty Carter and Mark Murphy, as well as the great lady of the jazz vocals, Ella Fitzgerald.
For this album Kate McGerry chose some of her favorite tunes, as well as the musical accompanists she most enjoys working with: Paul Kreibich (drums) Karem Hammack (piano) Eric von Essen (bass).
An album not to be missed.
