Kathleen Holeman is a chameleon, able to make her voice be exactly what she wants on any song she wants, and she scats like the pro she is. Jazz standards, vintage swing,blues and pop, ballads and fast romps, relaxing to hot.she does it.
"Kathleen Holeman is the real deal, a singer who can sing." I had the pleasure of writing those words for a rave I penned for the Topeka Capital-Journal titled "KC Jazz Diva Soars at Topeka Jazz Workshop." I therefore come to the happy task of writing these notes as a partisan. I am a devoted Kathleen Holeman fan!
Since first meeting Kathleen several years ago in preparing notes for her debut album, the acclaimed Don't You Wonder?, I've had the joy -- as countless other Kansas City area jazz fans have had -- of watching her continue to grow. With I'm All Smiles the happy beat goes on. In fact, there's a palpably positive feeling that's just plain life-affirming. In Kathleen's hands, even Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" exudes good cheer.
"Life is wonderful and I feel so blessed to be able to share these feelings and sounds with so many people," the St. Joseph, Missouri, native told me recently. Speaking of sharing, Kathleen also gives full credit to her fellow musicians. "The guys helped me pick some of the tunes, and I feel that this is their album as much as its mine," Kathleen stressed. "Most of our small group arrangements are a collective effort and it was great fun to see how the songs would turn out!" Now, we get to share that "fun." More.... http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/holeman2
