Jazz singer, Janet Planet, prepared to record a collection of songs that celebrates the sites, cities, and landscape across the United States. Her forth concept album, Of Thee I Sing reminds us of the industrious spirit and natural beauty that made our country great. The song selection takes the listener on a journey  through the quaint little villages of Cape Cod to the canyons of Wyoming; New York to New Orleans; copper mining in Arizona, whiskey distillation in Kentucky, lobstering in Maine; a stroll along Chicago’s lakefront, through the Bronx Zoo, and across San Francisco’s Golden Gate. It is to be an American story in quintessential American form…jazz.

Drawing from varied resources (the Great American Song Book, folklore, the 1920’s, the 1960’s, and today), these are songs about places and people…songs about coming home and falling in love…songs about change. “Whenever our country has faced challenge or adversity, music has always been the great communicator,” says Ms. Planet. “This is an important time in our nation’s history, politically and financially. My hope is to take listeners to a place where we remember the goodness in people, our commitment to community, the beauty of our land, and a love for the place we call home.” ~ Allen/James Design   http://news.allaboutjazz.com/jazz-singer-janet-planet-to-record-album-celebrating-america.php#.U36Tsyioqdk
