Soul Walk by Emily Braden

[Rick Gibbs]

Hi folks, I'd encourage anyone interested in hearing some fabulous jazz to check out Victoria vocalist Emily Braden's new CD Soul Walk that was produced by Misha Piatigorsky in New York. She released it at JazzFest International in Victoria and I've reviewed it on my site at islandjazz.ca As I've said in the review, it's a major artistic success - easily the best thing I've heard in years. This lady has got the goods and Piatigorsky is a brilliant producer who has made the most of her talent. In my review, you'll find a link where you can hear two of the tunes. The CD will soon be available via itunes if it isn't already.
