"Let's Get Lost" is a CD with a smooth and sophisticated sound that sets it apart from other CDs. Karen Egert's swinging sound and lyrical ballads is well complimented by the top-notch band backing her up on this new release. You can hear on this CD what has won crowds over wherever Karen has entertained. She has charmed audiences with her jazz vocals wherever she goes. This songbird is truly talented. Karen first built her following at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. She played the piano and serenaded devotees for many years in the famous Peacock Alley Lounge. 

Karen was inspired by being able to play on Cole Porter's piano, the instrument on which he wrote so many of the most beloved songs. Among the many celebrities for whom she performed, her biggest thrill was the night Stevie Wonder heard her voice while strolling through the lobby, stopped dead in his tracks and was so taken by her singing that he joined her at the piano for a night of magic.Karen has had a diverse career. She appeared on Broadway in a principal role in Dick Clark's "Rock & Roll - the First Five Thousand Years." And she recorded with The Flirts, who had a top-ten record entitled "Don't Put Another Dime in the Jukebox." 

On top of all this, Karen is also an accomplished songwriter. Judge for yourself by listening to her two original compositions on the CD  "Wait Until I'm Through You" and "Please Go Away." Karen's new release is already getting industry attention on the radio and in record stores. After hearing it, you will know why!  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/karenegert

With an all star band featuring John Pizzarelli , Bucky Pizzarelli and Harry Allen on sax Karen Egert's second CD , That Thing Called Love ,truly shows the depth that this singer is made of. Karen tells a story with her singing , and combined with the excitement of her voice, she creates a wonderful sound. She has her own personal and unique style, making her an up and coming voice on the jazz scene today.
Karen began her career first on Broadway, in cabaret shows and then segued into singing and playing the piano in the major NYC hotels.She currently is playing every weekend at the private New York Athletic Club on Central Park South in Manhattan, where she accompanies herself on piano. She also can be seen at Shanghai Jazz , Trumpets and other venues in the Metropolitan area. She had a steady singing gig at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for over 5 years and had the distinction of playing nightly on Cole Porter's piano. It was at the Waldorf  Astoria that Stevie Wonder was walking through the lobby and was so struck by her voice that he came into the lounge and listened to her for the rest of the evening. As he was about to leave , she then played one of her favorite Stevie Wonder tunes" Overjoyed" and he was so taken by her that he joined her at the piano for a private performance of some of his greatest songs. It was ofcourse a night to remember . Karen is also an accomplished songwriter and her latest CD contains one of her best original songs- "Could You Be Mine" .This Cd currently can be heard on jazz stations around the country .
