Details:
Vocalist DONNA DEUSSEN is an exciting new artist on L.A.'s jazz scene. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Donna counts Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Chaka Khan, and Joni Mitchell as some of her influences. She has been performing in venues around Southern California for the past several years, and her fans are happy to hear that her long-awaited debut CD has finally been released!

"High Wire" features jazz, blues, latin and pop standards with some of LA's best musicians: Mark Massey on piano, Aldo Bentivegna on drums, Anders Swanson on bass, and Eric Marienthal on saxaphone. The CD gave Donna a chance to record some of her favorite tunes, including: the title track (a Chick Corea composition); a 'Weather Report'-inspired arrangement of "Nature Boy;" a samba rendition of "Old Devil Moon;" and even a jazz arrangement of Joni Mitchell's "River."

The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Donna and Alan Kuehne of Serious Fun Studios. It is currently received airplay on several jazz stations around the country, including KBEM in Minneapolis, MN; WAER in Syracuse, NY; WICN in Worchester, MA; KCLU in Thousand Oaks, CA; and KJZZ in Long Beach, CA.

This is a crisp, fun, and energetic recording and you won't regret having this one in your collection!
