Details:
âA Walk Down Memory Laneâ is Kristin Kovner's debut album, recorded when she was 19. This record can soothe the soul for Alzheimer's patients and caregivers -- or be the perfect addition to any jazz lover's collection.

All proceeds from this charity album go to the Alzheimer's Foundation - not only are you getting a fantastic recording of 14 American jazz favorites, including hits from Gershwin, Porter, and Rogers & Hart, but you're also supporting a great cause!

Kovner's volunteer work with Alzheimer's patients inspired her to record and produce this charity album of American classics to further benefit the cause.

Kovner is a graduate of Yale college, where she majored in English and was actively involved in music, studying voice at the Yale School of Music, performing with The New Blue, Yale's oldest female a capella group, and giving free voice lessons to elementary school students in New Haven.

A Walk Down Memory Lane was developed over the course of 6 months and recorded in one three-hour session when Kovner was a junior at Yale. Kovner drew on the talents of members from her High School Jazz Band - of which she was the vocal soloist - for the album's smooth accompaniment and inspiring instrumental solos.

âShe has a bell-like Fitzgerald quality... and a heartfelt richness. Kovner displays a versatility that is beyond her years with vocal ease that reminds us how wonderful it is to be young.â -Steve Mitchell.

âI wake up to this CD every morning. It never leaves my player.â -Molly Epstein.
