Ellen Edwards-
With the release of her stylistically eclectic and soulfully swinging new EP, Ellen Edwards, A New York Session, jazzy and extraordinarily gifted singer-songwriter Ellen Edwards had a surreal but beautifully grounded day at Shelter Island Studios in NYC recording with some of the city's top session cats.
Producer & keyboardist Jason Miles heard and loved Edwards' material and quickly gathered an ensemble that included Randy Brecker (trumpet), Robbie Kondor (piano), Will Lee (bass), Jeff Mironov (guitar), Gene Lake (drums), Richie Morales (percussion) and Jason Miles (B3, vibes and synthesizers). They all worked their effortless spontaneity and spark around Ellen's powerful tone and distinctive phrasing. Her stylistic flow ranges from Latin to gospel/blues and her songs have a continuous message of conquering one's demons and sorrows and forging a bright future.
