Album Notes

Shelley is a two-time nominee as best jazz musician for the Sacramento Music Award. "Compelling and imaginative" are the adjectives Bob Byler of JazzTimes uses to describe Shelley's vocal stylings.

Marcus Crowder of The Sacramento Bee writes "Burns' new release, "Let Yourself Go," is a classy, bright- sounding collection that could easily propel the versatile singer to new heights."

Peter Haugen, the theater critic for the Sacramento Bee writes "Burns ... has a winning mastery of pop phrasing. She makes it sound easy."

Shelley performs with a number of Sacramento musical groups, with her band "Shelley Burns and Avalon Swing" at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and at other jazz festivals around the world. Shelley has an extensive knowledge of standard jazz repertoire, having over thirty-five years of experience as a professional jazz vocalist, working with world-class musicians.

Her CD "In Our Own Time," which is available through Amazon.com, receives air play on jazz radio stations across the country.

REVIEWS

Great vocals and a very swinging band!
author: Bill Dendle
Great older tunes - classics really - and all sound fresh. Great arrangements, wonderful solos, and a unique voice. Shelley's got so many ways to get the best out of a song. I love "I Have Dreamed"- flugelhorn solo is outstanding. Shelley's voice is stunning on " Isn't this a lovely day?" Wonderfully musical CD.

This Cd is Fantastic!
author: Tom Liston
Shelley Burns really knows how to sing a Jazz Melody. Check out her Phrasing. It is impeccable! She knows how to deliver the lyrics so one never becomes bored, but you are always interersted in what will happen next. And listen to that ryhthm section groove! I would recommend this CD to anyone. It Really COOKS!
