Karen Benjey's unique vocal style, emotive voice and innovative techniques bring a memorable quality to her repertoire of jazz standards. Her sensitivity to the ballad and the spontaneous elements of the music, imparts authenticity to her interpretation of jazz in its pure form. The elegance of Karen's sound, combined with superb accompaniment from Randy Brecker (Brecker Brothers), Joe La Barbera (Bill Evans/TonyBennett), David Goldblatt (Diana Ross) and Terry Plumeri (Roberta Flack) make for a classic jazz experience. Produced by Terry Plumeri (Conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic/IFP Spirit Awards nominee for Best Score) and mixed and mastered by Terry Plumeri and 2006 Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Arnie Acosta (U2 – How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb), the sonic qualities of this recording promise to delight audiophiles everywhere.

All of You
author: Carol Ettman
Karen is certainly one of the best singers around ... great ears, great time and cool (and intelligent) choices in improvisation. Her voice is instantly recognizable - not an minor accomplishment. But then Karen's a true pro and I have tremendous respect for her talent. Yes, I've know her a few years, have heard her in person but not enough. I wish her the very best with "All of You" and hope it's only the second CD in a string of more to come. Karen certainly qualifies for Downbeat's talent deserving wider recognition. You go girl! PS: Of course Terri, Randy and David and superb, but Joe LaBarbera ... super cool. Hopefully you play on this CD or will do so in the future.

Absolutely stunning cd. I loved Benjey's phrasing and voice quality. The backing band, especially Terry Plumeri, the bass player, is outstanding. Will listen to this music over and over again. A definite "must buy".

All Of You
author: Harry Charthern
Karen's 1st CD became my absolute favorite listening experience, I enjoyed every cut many, many times. Having listened to Karen in person, I was certain that the new Cd would be great, but I could not imagine that it would be as good as the first. FOOLISH ME!! "All Of You" is a treasure. My favorite cut is, "It's Alright With Me". She gives a reading that is saucy, a little coy and exceptionally witty, you can hear the wink in her voice as she assures her companion that this really is the "right" place and time. I highly recommend this CD, I also highly recommend catching Karen in person. Do this and you will discover that "All Of You' just scratches the surface, and you will then join me in imploring Karn to make "All Of You" the second of many.
