Connie: Sorry to say that I had not had the pleasure of hearing your music until this past week. While browsing around the jazz section of a local music shop, I noticed your latest CD release and scanned it to hear a few cuts. First impression – very nice (I’m a Diana Krall fan and enjoy the old standards you both have a knack for recreating these tunes). Then I saw your Let It Be Jazz CD and listened to it and was just blown away. Fantastic album, beautiful arrangements and your wonderful voice and style…great decision to include several “lesser known” Lennon/McCartney songs(For No One is unbelievable…Mary Louise Knutson is a terrific arranger and pianist). I bought both CDs on the spot and am now a fan of yours (my wife loves your music, too). Unfortunately this store didn’t have any of your other CDs, but I’ll be looking for them as well. I’m a huge smooth jazz fan and we have a decent FM radio station service the Pacific NW, however, I will chastise them for not playing your music and will encourage them to do so. I hope you will have Seattle on your schedule in the near future…maybe your agent could contact radio station KWJZ, as they promote or co-sponsor most of the jazz engagements here (Diana Krall, Etta James, Oscar Peterson, Boney James, Peter White, Chris Botti, etc.). We also have 2 great clubs: Jazz Alley and The Triple Door that your agent should look into as well as numerous formal venues (Benaroya Hall, Paramount, 5th Avenue). As you might guess…I’d like you to come to Seattle and I have no doubt that Seattle will welcome you with open arms. Looking forward to more music from you! Thanks, and the very best to you.
