Album Notes

You will love this newest blend of jazz and popular favorites. "My Greenbrier Season" is a lively departure from the smoother signature sound Helane developed in her first release, "Love is an Action Verb". Still great jazz with her a-list quartet, this time the project team had three goals in mind when budgeting for the project. First, create an appeal for dancers of all abilities, replicate the ambient, warm, inviting live sound which defined the 2003 Helane Fontaine shows at the Greenbrier, and display the maturation and the virtuousity of this incredible voice. By keeping track selections to first-take recordings whenever possible, Helane keeps the natural quality of live performance, and sonically delivers a sense of the qualities that engender such intense audience response to Helane and her work once they have experienced her live show. This recording fits perfectly with the new trend of mainstreaming the new Las Vegas sound into popular venues for both the jazz audiophile and the savvy adult over 30. Give it a listen and let us know how you like it! It's the perfect dancable listenable combination.
