With her three-octave range as well as her Latin-flavored jazz-influenced stylings and multi-layered harmonies, Basia established herself a successful international recording career during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Having had a break from recording, she is emerging with her strongest work yet, It's That Girl Again, an album that brings her trademark global pop/jazz sound into today. From the first track "If Not Now Then When" -the bouncing melody, soaring horns, and the feeling that you've landed in a small fiesta-it's as though she has never been away. Basia and her collaborator Danny White have always drawn from timeless influences: the rhythms and styles of Latin music, the sound of classic American soul and R&B, and the polish of '50s and '60s jazz. From the first strum of the guitar to the last cheer from the crowd, the album is a great showing from an established artist firmly planted in the here-and-now. Be sure to get your tickets early for this wonderful evening of jazz!
