EMILY SAXE IS "KEEPING YOU IN MIND" AT THE ALLEN ROOM
Singer Emily Saxe will make her New York concert debut at THE ALLEN
ROOM at FREDERICK P. ROSE HALL (Columbus Circle, Broadway at 60th
Street, NYC - CenterCharge: 212-721-6500 -
http://www.jazzatlincolncenter.org/
) on Friday & Saturday, April 4th & 5th at 8:00 pm. She will be performing
selections from her debut CD "Keeping You In Mind" on the PS Classics
label. Her all-star band features Greg Liesz on slide and petal steel,
the CD's producer David Piltch on bass, Kevin Patrick Warren on keyboards,
Mark Goldenberg on guitar, and Andrew Borger on drums. A versatile
new stylist capable of crossing over from jazz to alternative, folk
to blues and country to pop, Saxe sets out to reinterpret the American
Songbook through alluring arrangements that place familiar pieces
in arresting new context.
Keeping You In Mind is an introspective collection
delivering superb vocals that weave a captivating spell: from the
lilting country-tinged title track to a sexy samba-infused "With
Every Breath I Take" to the achingly inviting "Last Day of Summer."
Throughout the disc, Saxe displays a lyrical sensitivity that seamlessly
blends with her lush guitar-based arrangements.
Emily Saxe comes from a long line of gifted musicians
(a great-grandfather who traveled the country with a pump organ,
a grandfather who collaborated with Johnny Mercer, a mother who's
an accomplished jazz pianist), and she brings her musical legacy
and talent to the fore in Keeping You In Mind.
Co-produced by Saxe and bassist David Piltch (whose
numerous credits include Madeleine Peyroux, Lizz Wright, k.d. lang,
and Bill Frisell), Keeping You In Mind features such in-demand players
as Piltch on bass, slide and steel guitar player extraordinaire
Greg Liesz (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin), drummer Jay Bellerose
(Paula Cole, Cassandra Wilson), keyboardist Patrick Warren (Fiona
Apple, Tracy Chapman), and Juno award-winning guitarist Rob Piltch.
Mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Jay Newland (Norah Jones's
Come Away With Me), Keeping You In Mind is a debut album capturing
an outstanding new talent.
