Kate McGarry -Girl Talk (Palmetto Records 2012)



McGarry's sense of musical authenticity is beautifully blended with her always-original musical vision. --Don Heckman, The Los Angeles Times
With a voice that soars with abundant hope, Kate McGarry creates music that makes you sit up and take noticea modern jazz singer who is redefining the genre with a compelling body of work. --Icon Magazine
More concerned with the essence of a song than idiomatic limitations, Palmetto Records vocalist and Grammy® nominee Kate McGarry has managed to attract the attention of tomorrow's jazz fans. Beyond her obvious affinity for swing, an eclectic repertoire ranging from Irving Berlin to The Cars and her signature contralto convey a message with a crystal clarity that precludes the need for gimmick or effect. All that's left is undeniably honest music that transcends the boundaries of age or genre. With five records including the Grammy® nominated, If Less Is More ... Nothing Is Everything, she's established herself as one of contemporary jazz's most moving and enigmatic voices.
