Six Degrees of Cool, the latest jazz project from singer, pianist, and composer Kathy Sanborn, will release late August 2012 through the Pacific Coast Jazz label.
Drawing from renowned influences such as Cool Jazz giants Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Anita O’Day, Sanborn’s new album brings Cool Jazz into today’s contemporary scene.
Sanborn says her latest release, Six Degrees of Cool, will remind you of the “West Coast Jazz” phenomenon of the 50s and 60s, complete with cool trumpet and smooth, clear vocals.
She explains, “Cool jazz is all about allowing the listener to decide what he’s feeling, and not just telling him what to feel.”
The jazz vocalist/composer is often compared to June Christy and Chris Connor, Cool Jazz singers of the past. And like song stylist Anita O’Day, Sanborn believes the song is king; she uses her vocal skills to weave a story, and not simply to show off vocal virtuosity. Six Degrees of Cool not only spotlights Sanborn's masterful vocals, but showcases her skill in composing and performing songs that reflect the best modern jazz has to offer.
Six Degrees of Cool is the follow-up release to Sanborn’s critically acclaimed album, Blues for Breakfast. Released in 2011, Blues for Breakfast reached #4 on Amazon’s MP3 Vocal Jazz charts.
