I'm looking forward to visiting BC for the first time!
Here's a copy of Marke Andrew's article in the Vancouver Sun on Feb 19:
Toronto singer-pianist Fern Lindzon's debut disc divides her repertoire into 11 duets and one solo number, all of which are performed with great taste and musicality. During the pairings --four each with vibraphonist Don Thompson and bassist George Koller, and three with guitarist Reg Schwager -- the musicians complement each other, never intruding on their partner's space.
Lindzon and Schwager take a spare approach to Wayne Shorter's ballad Infant Eyes, lending weight to the notes, and she and Thompson have the same modus operandi performing Oliver Nelson's Stolen Moments.
As a vocalist, Lindzon has a clear voice that resonates in the lower register and makes direct hits on octave jumps without sliding her way up.
As a pianist, she plays in the comfort zone of someone used to accompanying her own vocals, but then she surprises you.
more info and reviews can be found on my website http://www.fernlindzon.com
For those of you in Victoria, I'll be appearing at Hermann's on Feb 24 with Roy Styffe on sax and Sean Drabitt on bass.

I then return to Vancouver on Feb 25 to play at the Chutzpah Festival with Sisters of Sheynville
