Album Notes

This album "SHADES" by Gia Notte, a.k.a. Margie Notte from her previous recording also on GNote Records, is produced by Don Braden, and co-produced by Todd B. Ellis and features some marvelous arrangements by Mr. Braden and pianists Jason Teborek and Brandon McCune. That with Gia's intuitive feel and interpretation for these tried and true standards places her in fold of today's music like no other. Go to MargieNotte.com for biography and reviews from her last record, "Margie Notte: Just You, Just Me; Live at Cecil's". "SHADES" is the answer to that last record and proves to be more exciting in its textures, or 'shades' and brings forth smooth and sensuous vocals, without compromising instrumental improvisation.
