Hello Everyone! I am very excited to report that on Monday, the 29th of September at 1:00pm I will be interviewed by Chris Cortez on KCSM Jazz 91.1! With me will be the fab guitarist John Nichols and we will be talking about the release of Vicki Burns Quartet "Live At Anna's Jazz Island!" Please tune in on your radio dial or live on the web at: http://kcsm.org/jazz91/listen.php In other exciting news, my new CD has had it's first review by John Gilbert of ejazz.com! He has wonderful things to say and if you go to the website soon you will catch it on the front page for awhile (scroll down). Here are some highlights! From ejazz.com: "Vicki Burns does indeed 'burn' on this recording. The stars were aligned just right when she was blessed with a singing voice that was made for the jazz idiom. "Billies Bounce" This number gets off the ground and into orbit with Burns and Adam Blankman scatting in unison. Burns, in scatting the changes takes no prisoners. Everybody has a helping (as Pres would say) on the four bar exchanges with Miss Burns leading the way with superb ideation. This tune is the highlight of the album. The tempo is as fast as a knife fight in a phone booth with Burns emerging as the winner. "Honeysuckle Rose" / "Scrapple From The Apple" Now hear this, Burns is in top form with her smokier than a speakeasy, leave no meat on the bone interpretation of 'Honeysuckle Rose' followed by a hipper than hip 'Scrapple' that Bird himself would approve of." John Gilbert gives Vicki Burns Quartet "live at Anna's Jazz Island" 5 stars! http://www.ejazznews.com/ As I always I treasure your friendship and support! With a song in my heart, Vicki Burns http://www.myspace.com/vickiburnsjazz
