Catherine Russell Finds Her Voice: The Boston Globe Profile

“With her 1,000-watt smile and playful stage banter, vocalist Catherine Russell may not seem the part, but she is jazz’s prodigal daughter. After a long, circuitous career path including stints with David Bowie, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Levon Helm, and Rosanne Cash, her return to the family fold has given jazz fans many a reason to rejoice. Mining a treasure trove of double entendre-laden blues, vintage jazz tunes, and Tin Pan Alley gems, the native New Yorker brings a visceral connection to old-time material, delivering the songs as if they were written yesterday, just for her.”
