Album Notes

Vicky Wyman sings contemporary jazz pop standards with power and passion updated with strains of Afro Cuban and blues. From the American songbook to Brazilian pop classics, Vicky\'s vocals smoke and soar. Vicky began in a folk duo in Pennsylvania as a teenager and quickly moved into professional theatre and cabaret in New York City. The move influenced her to look for an edgier sound - she formed a rock band and her songwriting flourished. During this period she explored blues and country as well and landed gigs in top NYC venues. Her debut album Heartland was recorded in Nashville with the Grand Ole Opry band, a hybrid of country and rock. Now she is backed by Newport, Rhode Island\'s finest jazz musicians including Gray Sargent, a longtime guitarist of Tony Bennett. With WHILE THE MUSIC PLAYS ON, Vicky has ultimately created a masterful style that brings the story of each of these songs to life and allows its sounds and images to linger.
