To celebrate the release of her recording Haunted Heart, Sarah Lynch and her band will play two sets at Sweet Rhythm in Greenwich Village, on January 16, 2007. Band personnel (the same as on the recording) include Pete McCann (g), Phil Palombi (b), Mark Ferber (d), with Dave Smith on trumpet and Tim Albright on trombone.

New York City-based vocalist Sarah Lynch brings much more to the microphone than just a great set of pipes (and composer Phil Springer likens her to “a young Peggy Lee.") She and music have been friends since she started studying piano at age five. Her playing led to singing, which led to composing, so with a masters degree in piano performance from UCLA, you might say that this upcoming singer-songwriter definitely knows her way around a piece of music. “Haunted Heart," her first CD, has just been released, and has already had airplay on KKJZ in Los Angeles.

Todd Jenkins calls guitarist Pete McCann “an exceedingly perceptive player with the good sense to approach songs in a way that befits their basic character, and the creativity to make something fresh out of those songs at the same time" (and if you've heard McCann play with Lynch before, you know exactly what Jenkins means.)

Bassist Phil Palombi, who plays both internationally and in New York, performs and records with such players as Toshiko Akiyoshi, Michael Brecker, Maynard Ferguson, Billy Hart, Dave Liebman, Chris Potter, Claudio Roditi, Lew Tabackin, Mark Turner, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Chucho Valdes, Walt Weiskopf - and, of course, Curtis Stigers.

Drummer Mark Ferber, whose latest recording with the Alan Ferber Nonet, “Scenes From An Exit Row," exhibits his innovative and rich drum stylings, has distinguished himself on both coasts in live performances and recordings. A partial list of his playing credits include Billy Childs, Lee Konitz, Fred Hersch, Larry Goldings and Ralph Alessi.

Dave Smith's trumpet evokes the following from Michael Philip Mossman, one of the world's foremost composers and arrangers: “David Smith's lyricism and sincerity of line and inflection combines well with his expanded sense of intervallic melodic construction. The result is a style rich in content, engaging emotionally and rich in character."

Tim Albright has been active in New York and on the international jazz scene since 1999, performing with Argento and touring regularly with alto saxophonist Steve Coleman. J. D. Considine in Toronto calls Albright “a revelation, delivering slyly virtuosic lines while maintaining gutbucket immediacy."
