JAZZ: Jazz Vocals, BLUES: Blues Vocals
Details:
"Comes Love,” the new release from Los Angeles-based singer Roxanne Beck and producer Bud Harner, is an eclectic collection of eleven jazz and pop covers delivered with Beck''s signature genre-busting vocal style. Drawing on strong blues, jazz, rock, country and gospel influences, Beck has emerged as a unique vocalist who has been called a cross between Norah Jones and Etta James.
“Comes Love” was overseen by Grammy-nominated producer and former Verve A&R executive Bud Harner (“Forever, for Always, for Luther”) and arranged by Jon Cowherd (Lizz Wright, Brian Blade), John Pondel (Kombo, Jazzhole) and Los Angeles piano player Louis Durra. Chart-topping guitarist Jeff Golub guests on three cuts, and smooth jazz guitar star Paul Brown plays on the title track. Also featured on the album is a cadre of other notable L.A. jazz musicians, including Durra and Rodney Lee on piano, Ron Pedley on organ, Larry Antonino, Matt Bissonette and Jeff Falkner on acoustic bass, Pondel and Jay Gore on guitar, and Dave Karasony, Henry Newmark and Harner on drums.
“Comes Love”’ includes soulful reworkings of standards such as “Willow Weep for Me,” “All Night Long” and “Only the Lonely”; Roxanne also handles tunes by Chick Corea (“Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly”), Bobby Sharp (“Everlastin’ Blues,” boasting a burning solo by Golub) and Susan Tedeschi and Tommy Shannon (“In the Garden”). Fresh arrangements of the Oasis hit “Live Forever,” Steely Dan’s “Dirty Work” and country artist Mindy Smith’s “Come to Jesus” take the CD in a contemporary direction, closing with a beautifully simple, piano-vocal version of “Amazing Grace.” As with fellow Southerners Jones and Lizz Wright, Beck’s sultry roots shine through the mix.
An Arkansas native who moved to L.A. from New York four years ago, Beck began her career in Nashville after college, working in clubs and as a demo singer. While there, she sang back-up for Grand Ole Opry stars like Gary Morris and Barbara Fairchild and was a winner of the Country Music Hall of Fame vocalist contest.
An inherent love of rock, jazz and blues eventually drew Beck to New York, where she earned gigs at the Bitter End, Town Hall, and Carnegie Hall and continued to develop her unique style. During her stint in Manhattan she also did musical theater and became a successful animation voice actor (“Doug,” “Pokemon”). Assisted by then-husband Pondel and engineer Al Houghton, she produced her first CD, “Garden of Love” (1997), for which she wrote or co-wrote all eleven tunes; her debut single “Baby, I Do” received airplay on regional radio stations like New York''s influential WFUV.
