Tania Grubbs is one of the busiest promoters in the Pittsburgh jazz scene, and one of the best singers, too. Organizing two jazz programs Downtown and one in Oakland has not kept her voice and style from steadily improving. “Lost in the Stars” shows that development as she presents 15 tunes from stage favorites such as “Show Me” and “Matchmaker” to the Henry Mancini classic “Charade” and “Come Waltz With Me,” an original by pianist Daniel May and lyricist Lou Tracey, two of the area's better secrets. Her voice is pure, and she has a wonderful sense of melody and lyric. Nowhere on the album does she falter, from the Latin lilt of “I Got the Sun in the Morning” to the ain't-romance-grand swing of “This Heart of Mine.” The album also is boosted by the work of pianist May, drummer Thomas Wendt, guitarist Eric Susoeff, trumpeter James Moore and bassist Jeff Grubbs, her husband. The album is a clear statement on what a great gift she is in the local music scene.By Bob Karlovits
