Sandi Bedrosian - There Is Such a Thing

Singer-songwriter Sandi Bedrosian has been a long time performer on the Boston jazz and GB circuit. Her clear, pure and powerful voice is perfectly suited to sing jazz in the traditional sense like the female pioneers that came before her: Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. Bedrosian has had a love affair with the jazz idiom since she was a young girl and it shows on her beautifully crafted new album, There is Such a Thing.
Recorded over a ten year span, Bedrosian enlists a handful of outstanding players in their own right that include pianist Mark Shilansky (who co-produced the album), Keala Kaumeheiwa on bass, Mark Earley on saxophone, husband John Hyde on accordion, Bertram Lehmann, Chuck Soloio & Take Toriyama on drums and Tony Zannini on guitar. Together, this gifted collective delivers stunning arrangements led by Bedrosian's elegant lead vocals. AOR tracks of note include the gorgeous interpretation of George Shearing's "Lullaby of Birdland," the delicately tender treatment of Bobby Caldwell's "Heart of Mine," the playful exuberance of new love, "One Deuce of a Romance," and the exalted play of "That's All."
Be sure to hear this wonderfully recorded and performed CD. You won't be sorry.{B.M.O.}
