Joan Collaso’s new CD is a compilation of songs selected from the catalogs of Nancy Wilson, Shirley Horn, and Billie Holiday. Joan’s 2010-2011 production of “A Tribute to Nancy Wilson & Shirley Horne” also honoring “The Lady and Her Music” Lena Horne, featured Joan in an elaborate production that included dancers, along with some of Chicago’s notable Jazz musicians. The overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic responses from the sold out audiences prompted Joan’s recording of, OOO Whee (My Favorite Things). From Return To Paradise to Lover Man this CD flows from African to Brazilian to up-tempo swing, and captures the ear with heartfelt ballads like You’ve Changed and Here’s to Life. This CD connects the threads between traditional and contemporary Jazz. You will hear the true sprit and passion that Joan has for this great and timeless music.
