Catherine Russell - Sentimental Streak
- "Sentimental Steak," Catherine Russell’s follow up to her 2006 debut, “Cat,” is set to grab the attention of jazz fans everywhere. Coming from a musical family -- Russell’s father, Luis, was the long time musical director of jazz legend Louis Armstrong, and her mother Carline Ray, bassist and vocalist with an advanced degree from Juliard -- Catherine was always surrounded by music.
It comes as no surprise, then, that "Sentimental Streak" is a very impressive collection of songs that showcase Russell’s vocal range. The fourteen track album is comprised of jazz, blues and torch songs that Russell handles with class, spunk and originality -– setting her apart from other vocalists in the same genre. A particularly impressive song, "I’m Lazy – That’s all" is a great example of her ability to bring her personal style to her singing, a quality that falls somewhere between the notes and is completely attributed to her graceful delivery. Listen to this album while you’re running errands on Sunday afternoon and you’ll get it.
Stand out tracks: "I’m Lazy – That’s All" and "My Old Daddy’s Got a Brand New Way To Love."
