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.
