Song:Estrada Do Sol
Album:Imagina: Songs Of Brasil
Imagina is the latest CD from one of today's top jazz singers. Karrin Allyson was born Jan. 27, 1963 in Grand Bend, KS and grew up in Omaha and San Francisco. She studied piano and performed in folk clubs and an all girl rock band called Tomboy. She graduated with a degree in piano from the University of Nebraska in 1987 and moved to Kansas City where she sang at her uncle's nightclub. She signed with Concord Jazz and her 1992 debut I Didn't Know About You got her some attention on the annual Playboy Jazz Poll. She has recorded for Concord ever since with her backing band of pianist Paul Smith, guitarists Danny Embrey & Rod Fleeman, bassist Bob Bowman and drummer Todd Strait. They're all from Kansas City. Imagina is a tribute to the music of Brasil and she does an excellent version of the Antonio Carlos Jobim song Estrada Do Sol. Karrin Allyson continues to tour and her albums have done very well on the jazz charts. Here's Karrin Allyson performing Moanin' at the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival.
