The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents

Musician's Corner: Tania Grubbs

Air Date: 12/22/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET

LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE 

Vocalist Tania Grubbs has released her second album, The Sound of Love. When I looked at the song list, I was reassured and impressed upon finding Duke Ellington's Sound of Love. Her take on this song is masterful.

During her Musician's Corner interview, she will talk about two songs on the new CD, Tadd Dameron's If You Could See Me Now, and an original composition entitled The Sculptor's Hands. 

What I noticed about Mrs Grubbs is that she finds new ways to express standards from the Great American Songbook. I found her version of Something to Live For to be superb, as well as Slow Hot Wind.

Tune in at 9:20 am ET 

to hear this edition of Musician's Corner.

Now living in Pittsburgh, Tania has been been a featured vocalist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Civic Light Opera, Chamber Music Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and many other musical organizations.

There's plenty of great music on The Sound of Love. Don't miss this interesting interview with a talented new artist!

Best,

Marty

Recently Gabriel Espinosa performed with his superb band. In the photo above, we see Mr. Espinosa feeling the bass, with drummer Graciliano Zambonin reacting to the groove of the moment. Misha Tsiganov Also featured in the group was the very talented Misha Tsiganov on piano, as well as Aviana Gedler vocals and violin, and Alexandra Ridout trumpet and flugelhorn. Aviana Gedler Alexandra Ridout Not only was the music simply great to listen and groove to, but Mr. Espinosa's talk about the songs made it very interesting. There was music from Brazil, as well as music from Mr. Espinosa's home, Yucatán Mexico.
