Search - Emily Saxe :: Emily Saxe: Keeping You in Mind

Emily Saxe comes from a long line of gifted musicians (a great-grandfather who traveled the country with a pump organ, a grandfather who collaborated with the great Johnny Mercer, a mother who's an accomplished jazz pianist), and she brings her musical legacy and talent to the fore in her extraordinary new album Keeping You In Mind. Through arrangements that are jazzy morsels of contemporary Americana with rootsy instruments and hypnotic rhythms and textures, her silky voice shines, whether it's breathy and wistful, playful and teasing, or plaintive and longing. Co-produced by Saxe and bassist David Piltch (whose numerous credits include k.d. lang, Lizz Wright, and Blood, Sweat & Tears), Keeping You In Mind features such in-demand players as Piltch on bass, slide and steel guitar player extraordinaire Greg Liesz (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin), drummer Jay Bellerose (Paula Cole, Cassandra Wilson), keyboardist Patrick Warren (Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman), and award-winning guitarist Rob Piltch. Mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Jay Newland (Norah Jones's Come Away With Me), Keeping You In Mind was made for lazing around on a Sunday morning, sharing a cup of coffee with that one special person you can't stop keeping in mind.
