Details:
Born and raised in Southern California, Mary Ann Douglas is a product of West Coast Jazz influence. She composes the music and writes the lyrics for all her songs. Trained as a vocalist in the beginning, she didnât return to music until after finishing graduate school, getting married, and beginning a family. In 1997, she produced her first vocal jazz CD, âTrue Storiesâ. This was followed by âSensoryâ in 1999, âDoes Thinking Just Make It That Way?â in 2001, and âUnfinished Businessâ in 2007. On all her recordings she has been surrounded by the talents of great local Southern California musicians including Mundell Lowe, Mike Wofford, Peter Sprague, John Rekevics, Bob Magnusson, Jim Plank, Rephael Harp, Kevin Esposito, Gary Pack, Dan Papaila, and Dave Hoffman. Her CDs have received good critical reviews and airplay both in the United States and France. Music lovers who like original material with introspective, real-life lyrics set to a variety of blues, bossa nova, pop, and smooth jazz stylings will want to acquire the entire collection. Not much performing for this lady â she does what she wants to do â writes and produces. You may catch her at the microphone occasionally in the San Diego area where she lives.
