"Christina Watson has been a favorite singer of mine since I first heard her both as a soloist, and as a member of the group “Third Coast Vocals”. She has a beautiful sound, flawless pitch, and a knack for choosing wonderful tunes from all genres, and making them her own. In her new recording “So This Is Love,” she offers a collection of tunes we may know but haven’t heard lately. The high-energy swing of bassist Roger Spencer and drummer Duffy Jackson, the facile piano solos by Lori Mechem, and the Titan-like saxophone presence of Jeff Coffin move these standards squarely into the 21st Century, bringing their history with them.  So here’s the plan; Sit! Pour some wine. Listen to the album. Then you’ll say, as I did, “So this is love.....it’s also great music. Enjoy!” ~ Beegie Adair https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/christinawatson4
