Sarena Paton is known to have one of the most angelic voices in our country. After graduating from Sir Wilfrid Laurier University, receiving the Alumni Gold Medal in Spanish, Sarena has enjoyed a busy schedule with the release of her debut CD, "Almost Like Love." As a jazz singer, she has performed at the Juno Beach Memorial and the Vienne Jazz Festival in France as well as the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 2003 fronting the Hamilton All Star Jazz Band. She has worked with David Braid, Russ Fearon, Bil Holinaty, Carl Horton, Matt Kennedy, Mike Malone, Gary Santucci, Henry Strong & Dr. Russ Weil. While re-inventing jazz standards with her own flair, Sarena's true passion is to discover the overlooked, unfamiliar songs to make her own. Her unique style, spirit and affection for her audience promise an exciting future for Sarena. In A Word: "...In particular, her rendition of the Hoagy Carmichael / Jane Brown Thompson piece 'I Get Along Without You Very Well' was beyond reproach. The arrangement and interpretation showed her range and scope as a vocalist as well as her ability to truly capture the attentions of an audience. It is a rare and precious gift to be able to so definitively possess a song so as to transport a listener to such a delightful place..." -Liam Brown, www.monkeybiz.ca "..I had never heard the songs before, neither had Matt, but I chose them for the lyrics," Paton said. Ironically they're two of the strongest on the CD..." - Graham Rockingham, http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/news "...Things got warm and toasty with Sarena Paton singing On The Sunny Side Of The Street. Her voice, with just the right mix of innocence and come-hither, made for a teasing Ain't Misbehavin'..." -Leonard Turnevicius, The Hamilton Spectator "...Sarena Paton's gorgeously coloured, rich voice ....utterly secure exquisite spun gold woven on a loom of endless breath. .." -Hugh Fraser, The Hamilton Spectator Check out the artist's website: http://www.sarenapaton.com Track List: 1.
