Do yourself a favor and take the time to check out Sandy Staley's CD "Everything I Love". You will be glad you did. Sandy's seasoned voice and performance has a depth that only having 60+ years in the business can create. This CD was recorded "live" in the studio, with only strings overdubbed. Almost every song were first takes. "Everything I Love" features some of Pittsburgh's greatest jazz players and swings like crazy. Vocalist Rebecca Parris says: I hope more and more people understand the joy I feel listening to this CD. It embodies all the things I love about Sandy; her spirit, her softness, her integrity, her musicality. Her deep swing, her love for the music and the people who really listen. Her respect for her predecessors, her sense of humor, her taste for amazing musicians. It is impeccable, a joy, the Christmas present I've been waiting for ever since the day I met her. She ROCKS! She RULES! She's KILLER-DILLER ROO! I'm so grateful to everyone that made this CD possible and I thank God for Sandy Staley! THE REAL JAZZ DAME!
