Anita Rosemond CD release party at
Busch's Grove set for Tuesday, December 6

Vocalist Anita Rosemond will celebrate the release of her new CD Timeless with a performance at Busch's Grove on Tuesday, December 6. She'll sing at 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. with a band including Tim Cunningham on saxophone, trumpeter Dan Smith, Eric Warren on bass, Ron Carr on drums and Greg Worzel, who also produced the CD, on piano. Autographed copies of the CD will be on sale that night for $12 each.

In addition to two original compositions by Rosamond, Timeless includes versions of songs identified with Dionne Warwick, Melissa Manchester, Cole Porter, Frank Sinatra, Irving Berlin, Stevie Wonder, Burt Bachrach, and Harold Arlen. The couple of times I've heard her perform, Rosamond has struck me as more of a pop/cabaret performer than a jazz singer - think Barbra Streisand, not Betty Carter - but the presence of Cunningham and Smith would indicate that she's got good taste in musicians, and I'll be interested to see a complete track list and to hear the CD.
