about

* Bonus Track

Thanks Dave! Friendship forever!
Marty

This CD swings, and it’s not the kind of arm-twisting swing that so many singers and bands attempt to accomplish, but an innate, natural swing that makes you want to nod your head and tap your toe. Marty Elkins is a force to be reckoned with as she weaves her way in and out of up tempo songs, ballads, and swing tunes. Marty is equally comfortable with a swinging seven piece band as she is with an intimate duo.

Having worked with such greats as Charlie Parker, Annie Ross, Johnny Griffin, Stanley Turrentine and Chet Baker to name a few – Marty here is joined by her long-time friend Dave McKenna. Their deep relationship made this recording date a very intimate one.

“To sound like yourself is a very difficult thing. And what I mean by that is, not just to not sound like Billie Holiday or Sarah Vaughn, but to have something inherently special, so that people can say, ‘I know that singer!’ And to add style, and timing and an aesthetically pleasing quality to a song ‘til you breathe life into it, is no mean accomplishment. So if you’d like to hear a story – here it is!”
- Marty Elkins

“Marty reminds me of some of the classic big band singers like Rosemary Clooney and Anita O’Day.”
- Ron Della Ciesa, WGBH/Boston

“She’s a staunch traditionalist who polishes songs, then wears ’em proudly,”
- Hot House Jazz Magazine

“Being a true person and a true artist are two very different things. You have to be able to do something that no one can teach you beyond a certain point ... Marty has achieved this and more.”
- Stanley Crouch
