When You're Around
Hot on the heels of her successful debut album, Love Dances (top 40 on the national jazz charts), Sue Matthews once again brings a fresh approach to the jazz standard and much more. This 'bona fide jazz singer' (Chuck Berg/JazzTimes), whose 'delivery is intimate, flawless, and smooth' (Keith and Kent Zimmerman/Gavin), brings you her release, When You're Around.
When You're Around showcases this vocalist's ability to present the many flavors of jazz. Backed by stellar musicians headed once again by pianist Stefan Scaggiari (Concord Jazz), Matthews ignites the arrangements with her breezy abandon and smoldering style.
