Album Notes

In the summer of 2005,we played a gig soooo-oooooh-oh!BAD,
{this drunk kept yelling another singer's name
ALL NIGHT!, & a loca-muchacha-conga-playa from
the audience, kept re-tuning the drums!..whack!
..?...turn the key...WHACK,.....whack,WHACK!...
turn the key som'more.....WHILE WE ARE PLAYING!!!
....QUICK!!somebody STOP!her....}
that my drummer quit!

Yes, I cried. I also finally gave up.....gained weight,got depressed....you know....the whole drill.....as I began to seriously contemplate exactly how?!I was gonna support the farm when all I know how to do is sing.
Enters M @ ZEVISGIRL, an independent production company run
by a most remarkable graphic artist, who announces that it is time for me to record w/my Boyz'n'Esperanza!,THE CD that will put us on the 'financial' map.

I would like to thank M. When I was on my knees,you rescued me....when I had fallen through the big-dream's floor,you took me to the final level.

I would like to thank my band. I don't do this w/out U Guys!!so DEAL!!!

& I would like to thank the Wolf,Itosan,for still!! being down w/me after 4 years of no REAL money & terrible gigs!
Lieblings! Beijos, Alida'LaGringa'Rohr

REVIEWS

Never boxable, never comprimising, always incredible
author: Darcie
La Gringa is one of the most creative, ingenuitive vocalists and musicians I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with - A- you are touched by the Divine - you are amazing. This album is sensational.

I think you're an amazing singer -
author: Lori Laitman
I think you're an amazing singer - particularly the fluidity between ranges, the ranges that you have (the high B flat to the low E flat in Round Midnight was astonishing - I could not believe what I was hearing)....and your colors. The group is very together; and the whole cd is really something... it's really wonderful! Lori Laitman (American composer of art songs)

YOU SURE ARE DIFFERENT!
author: Kenny Wheeler
It took me 2 or 3 listenings before I could get into your voice-YOU SURE ARE DIFFERENT! But in the end I got to like it very much, CONGRATULATIONS-you have made a convert! Kenny Wheeler (Canadian composer and trumpet and flugelhorn player, based in the UK.)
