CDs by Sue Tucker: May I Come In and Back Home

(This lady is one to be on the watch for because her singing has all the qualities that make for a great vocalist. You'll find her at various night spots in the Twin Cities and beyond singing her cool jazz. May I Come In is a combination of great jazz classics and originals sung with pure emotion and backed by some of the best jazz musicians out there. Tucker goes back to her roots with a Back Home jazz feel that captures those lazy afternoon moments of days gone by... jazz meets the gravel road.)

CDs by Christine Rosholt: Lipstick - Live at the Dakota and Detour Ahead

(Christine Rosholt represents a fresh voice in jazz standards in the Twin Cities. She injects a natural effervescence into the jazz standards she loves. Her phrasing has a dewy freshness that helps define classic tunes from the likes of Jobim, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and Fats Waller with sparkling clarity.)

CD by JoAnn Funk: Solo Piano

(Funk is a master of lounge swing. The classically trained pianist is just as likely to play something by Nat King Cole as she is to play Hank Williams or James Taylor. JoAnn is currently performing as a pianist vocalist and bass duo (with bassist Jeff Brueske) at the Lobby Bar of The Saint Paul Hotel.)
