Kate Mc Garry

Easy to Love is a most appropriate title for the recording debut of vocalist Kate McGarry. Right from the voice-bass intro on “My Heart Stood Still”, you know that this is to be no run-of-the-mill progam. An immediate reaction may be to notice the exceptional diction and enunciation and the distinctive phrasing that McGarry demonstrates. It's not surprising to learn that her greatest influences have been such unique stylists as Jon Hendricks, Betty Carter, and Mark Murphy, as well as the great lady of jazz vocals, Ella Fitzgerald.

This compliation featuring some of jazz's most well-known names. Vickie Leigh, Sekou Bunch, Kate Mc Garry, David Garfield, Karen Knowles, and others, performed the songs of Cole Porter, John Coltrane, Billy Strayhorn, and some of their own material. This is pure analogue recording. The heart and soul of any recorded sound must surely be the acoustical properties of the room or hall itself, and the microphones being used within that acoustic.
