Jazz As It's Meant to Be

August 27, 2019 Guest User

As Courtney has honed her craft, she worked and recorded with veteran musicians who were there when the this music was new. They've since passed, but their style and approach live on in her presence and sound. Time honored classics bring their excitement and messages through her live performances, occasionally reinterpreted - as jazz is meant to be. Her band is simultaneously loose and tight; performing seamlessly while moving and playing within the music, the moment, and the room. An actual drill sergeant on drums, a classical-turned-jazzier on the bass, a sax who can jam, and a piano player who delivers. Fronting it all is Courtney, whose smooth voice timbre sails over what her musicians are laying down. Court's in Session is what jazz is supposed to be - a celebration of life wrapped within the wonder of art.
