Details:
'THE STATE OF BLISS" is KARIN PLATO'S fifth recording since 1996. Released in May 2003 the disc features Karin singing with three different rhythm sections. The songs include arrangements of familiar jazz standards as well as several of Karin's original compositions. A special highlight on "The State Of Bliss" is the guest appearance by acclaimed Canadian jazz vocalist Denzal Sinclaire. Denzal sings two duets with Karin: the swinging "I Hear Music" and the lovely waltz "Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk" by Irving Berlin.

Noted Canadian producer Torben Oxbol who collaborated with Karin on previous CD's including her JUNO NOMINATED "THERE'S BEAUTY IN THE RAIN" in 1998 and "BLUE AGAIN " in 2000 is the producer of "THE STATE OF BLISS". Musicians on the recording include guitarist Bill Coon, saxophonist Campbell Ryga, pianist Ross Taggart, pianist Bob Murphy and several other of Canada's finest jazz musicians based in Vancouver, BC.

Nominated "Canadian Jazz Vocalist of the Year" at THE NATIONAL JAZZ AWARDS 2003 in Toronto, Canada (the award went to Diana Krall), Karin continues to win new fans everywhere that she performs. "THE STATE OF BLISS" showcases the talent of one of Canada's rising stars in jazz. A blissful state indeed...
