Pittsburgh vocalist, Lisa Hindmarsh makes her solo debut with her CD titled "Know I Know." Having earned a Master's Degree in voice in the early 1990s, Lisa joined the a cappella group InVoice which enjoyed a high degree of popularity in the Pittsburgh area. She now divides her interests between soloist activities in Westminster Presbyterian Church and her performances with local jazz groups. The young singer is endowed with a broad vocal range and a smooth jazz style. Her solo CD debut finds Lisa with a number of Pittsburgh's most popular jazz musicians immersed in the standards of Jerome Kern, Matt Dennis, Cy Coleman, Harold Arlen and Bobby Troup. Among the tunes presented are Fever, They Didn't Believe Me, When The Sun Comes Out, The Meaning of the Blues, Lullaby of Birdland, With Every Breath I Take and the perennial Bluesette penned by Toots Thielmans. I especially liked the singer's interpretation of the late Julie London's "The Meaning of the Blues" with some fine horn accompaniment by Frank Podroskey. Bluesette is another standout on this album. All things considered, this is a very nice debut for Lisa Hindmarsh. http://www.jazzreview.com/cd-reviews/jazz-vocals-cd-reviews/now-i-know-by-lisa-hindmarsh.html

This is the second album in which Lisa Hindmarsh matches her matchless talent to the original songs of Dana Paul Robinson. As with the first CD, entitled "Hello Again", this one also features the superb arrangements and piano playing of Michael Frank. The performances - recorded live - also include some very persuasive percussion playing and some gorgeous horns.

All who have heard this recording rave about the quality of production, the dazzling prowess of the vocalist, and the power and delight of the melody and lyrics. Indeed, the reception is so encouraging Lisa, Mike and Dana have taken steps to produce a third CD.
