I have been really busy gearing up for my live recording release in October and am really excited to finally share it with all of you. Special thanks to Lou Judson for his recording artistry and to j from reapandsow who gave me the idea of making this a digital release. I may do a limited run of CDs sometime in the future, but really want to encourage all of you to download everything! It just makes more sense ecologically and economically these days! I also urge all of you to check out reapandsow's fantastic website and see the incredible variety of musicians and musical offerings there!! http://www.reapandsow.com/ New CD in the works! In other recording news, I have been busy in the studio with the amazing Cesar Cancino on piano and arranging, Fred Randolph on bass and Bob Blankenship on drums. So far we have recorded three beautiful songs, "The Very Thought of You", "Love Me or Leave Me" and "Easy Living" This will be a very romantic recording (with some sweet, kinky twists!) and I can't wait until I can share it with you :) We are hoping for a release date sometime early next year(2009). Cesar has been amusing me with hilarious tales of being on the road with Joan Baez... Little Saigon! I will be returning to this delightful gem of a venue on* this Friday, August 8th. Please join me for the finest Vietnamese cuisine and some sweet, hot jazz by the Vicki Burns Duo with the John Nichols on guitar! The Music is from 5-9:00pm with no cover but believe me you will want to make dinner reservations, the food is simply fantastic!
