Briar Ross came to singing through (ironically) a fear of public performing, enrolling in a performance course that involved singing jazz music. This is her fourth album, with well-known local jazz musicians Julie Mason on piano, Frank Gibson Jr and saxophonist Roger Manins. Produced by Phil Broadhurst and recorded at York St studios with engineering by Simon Gooding, 'Fly Me to the Moon' is an album of smoothly performed jazz standards that suit a relaxed setting. The performances are consistent, and songs chosen are not always the more famous jazz numbers, with exception of the title track. The songs are clearly favourites of Ross, and the album benefits from this. Covering well-known popular jazz is an unenviable task, the original versions are usually synonymous with particular singers and anyone else attempting to make the song their own usually falls short of the mark. Briar Ross has done a good job with this album of standards - they may not be definitive, but they are approached with obvious affection, and the result is a pleasing album of well sung light jazz. ~ Amanda Mills  http://www.nzmusician.co.nz/index.php/ps_pagename/album/pi_albumid/1177

Fly Me To The Moon is jazz vocalist Briar Ross' fourth album. The title track aside (ultra famous Jazz standard Fly Me To The Moon) the album consists of little known works that are favourites of Ross; a mixture of beautiful ballads and medium swing numbers. The album features some very well known New Zealand jazz artists including Frank Gibson Jnr on drums, Julie Mason on piano, Andy Brown on Bass, and Roger Manins on sax. The album is also partially dedicated to Andy Brown who sadly passed away. http://www.amplifier.co.nz/release/40492/fly-me-to-the-moon-in-other-words-i-love-you.html
