Nashville-based vocalist Christina Watson has released her fourth album as a leader, SO THIS IS LOVE.
“Swinging at uptempos, simmering on ballads, with deep empathy for both lyrics and melody, Watson excels in every element of performance. Add her rich vocal tone and tasteful feel for improvisation, not to mention backing from a world-class assembly of musicians, and you’ve got all you need to know that Watson has earned her place in today’s jazz vocal pantheon.“ — Bob Doerschuk, Downbeat contributor and author of “88: The Giants of Jazz Piano”
She has a beautiful sound, flawless pitch, and a knack for choosing wonderful tunes from all genres, and making them her own.
“In her new recording “So This Is Love,” she offers a collection of tunes we may know but haven’t heard lately. The high-energy swing of bassist Roger Spencer and drummer Duffy Jackson, the facile piano solos by Lori Mechem, and the Titan-like saxophone presence of Jeff Coffin move these standards squarely into the 21st Century, bringing their history with them.” — Beegie Adair, jazz pianist, songwriter and recording artist
