With her roots in Jazz and Brazilian music, the same can be said for Lindsey Câmara’s new debut album Speak Low, which features a well-produced collection of standards with an original Latin-infused/Bossa Nova sound. The album is already generating buzz with its impressive tracklist that promises to take you on an emotional and musical journey into the heart and soul. Musical guests include Michael Massaro, Frank Fogetti, Bob Miski, and other surprise talents… The songs on "Speak Low" were composed by some of the finest Jazz and Bossa Nova writers and performers in music history. To quote Joey Santiago, “I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossa Nova. It’s very warm-sounding to me lush and simple. I like that.” https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lindseycamara

Living Out Loud is the first Joyce Cooling album in 10 years. Exquisitely produced by Jay Wagner, this original 5-song EP is Cooling, Wagner, and friends at their best. San Francisco-based guitarist, singer, songwriter, Joyce Cooling, has recorded seven previous albums - five charting albums on Billboard; two #1 radio singles; six top 10 singles; and thirteen charting singles in all. Cooling received the "Gibson Best Jazz Guitarist of the Year" Award and "Best New Talent" in the Jazziz Reader’s Poll.  With a nod to where they’ve been, coupled with a full-on embrace of the now, Living Out Loud is an innovative twist on their signature sound. Joyce’s musicianship shines with a unique, soulful energy and the entire album makes a passionate statement. From the uplifting 1st single, “It’s So Amazing,” to the sultry, “Marina’s Dream,” Living Out Loud takes the listener on a colorful, compelling journey. 

The exciting title track boasts superb playing from Joyce and the band, and the R&B-tinged “Got To Find My Own Way” is downright crazy funky. The EP ends with “Carry On,” a gorgeous vocal ballad with a whole lot of heart. The trip is rich and powerful and one worth taking.https://joycecooling.bandcamp.com/album/living-out-loud
