Catherine Russell on Song Travels with Michael Feinstein on NPR

As a young girl, vocalist Catherine Russell bounced on the knee of Louis Armstrong. She started her career as an ace backup singer for stars including Paul Simon, David Bowie, and Steely Dan. Today she’s a leading interpreter of the Great American Songbook. Russell and host/accompanist Michael Feinstein perform an hour of pure radio perfection, including “I Cover The Waterfront” and a duet of “The Very Thought of You.” Hear "Mood Indigo" as a bluesy duet between the jazz singer and host Michael Feinstein.
