"Absolutely beautiful music!"
The first full-length solo CD from Chicago vocalist Jen Zias is here!
Take Me With
You covers songs from many of the last century's most popular
composers: Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Jimmy Van Heusen, John Mandel,
Peggy Lee, and Alan and Marilyn Bergman, among others. It features one
of Jen's own compositions, "Can't I Lie?", and the debut
recording of the Emily Dickinson poem, "Wild Nights", beautifully set
to music by composer Glenn
Mehrbach.
This recording is Jen's tribute to her past seven years performing
first at the legendary Pump Room in ChicagoÂ’s Ambassador East
Hotel (at one time the steady gig of Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee) and
currently at the world-famous Drake Hotel Chicago. It's dinner music at
its most appetizing, meant to be danced to with a loved one, or shared
with friends over a glass of wine.
A collaboration between Jen and her trio, Take Me With You showcases
the wonderful talent of Dennis Anderson on piano, Joe Policastro on
bass, and Corey Radford on drums.
