Tell us more about the show...

A Detroit, Michigan native, Kathy Kosins has explored the vocal jazz idiom of the West Coast “cool school,” with particular emphasis on those extraordinary singers of the 1940s and 1950s that were household names to jazz and pop fans alike in that era. Kathy is an accomplished interpreter of jazz, who has a voice and style that shares that intimate and alluring quality found in “The Ladies of Cool.” - Ron Weber

And the reviewers said...

New York Times
Ms. Kosins's nonstandard choice of standards is almost as winsome as her easygoing, swinging style...

Scott Yanow,
All Music Guide
Kathy Kosins has a fine expressive voice and she is joined by a top-notch sextet, but the real star of this set are the songs

Herb Wong
Outstanding...

Chris DiGirolamo
If Jazz had four seasons, Kathy Kosins would be spring. Something to look forward to, something budding, and most of all something just down right distinct.

...Kathy Kosins plunges into a rarely explored area of standards, and emerges with a handful of well-crafted melodic pearls. Her alluring declamations bring freshness to the lightly swinging "Tiptoe Gently". A teasing, sensual approach comes across to good effect on Russell Garcia's "Go Slow", where Kathy drags seductive lyrics across a decelerated tango.

I wasn't expecting to fall in love with a new female vocal album, but I wound up staying the night.
