Album Notes

On Sing! Went the Strings of My Heart, her debut album, Loretta Cormier shows she is a marvelous interpreter of the lyrics, who also has impeccable phrasing, flawless enunciation, and a warm, natural delivery. Some of the songs are well-known and often heard, such as "But Not For Me" and "I'll Remember April;" others may be unfamiliar and rarely played, like "Why Try to Change Me Now?" and "The Moon Was Yellow."

But each is a testament to the genius of the composers of the years 1920-1950. The artistry of the musicians cannot be denied: "hot jazz" emanating from Sebastian Campesi's violin; the impeccable rhythmic blend of Morris Nelms on piano, Darrel Tidaback on bass, and Kyle Keener on drums; the energy and warmth from Cecil Carter's cornet; and the elegance flowing from the alto and tenor saxes of Jay Forte.
