Search - Russ Lorenson :: A Little Travelin' Music

"An elegant performer, he [brings] a supple voice and strong sense of characterization to all his songs." - LOS ANGELES TIMES "[Lorenson?s] relaxed, easy deliveries?seem natural and heartfelt." - SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE "Irresistible!" - CORONADO JOURNAL "Outstanding...I think he could almost fly off the stage!" - TALKINBROADWAY.COM "I could listen to Russ sing and sing and sing and sing...such a lovely instrument and he does such great things with it!" - TERESE GENECCO Russ Lorenson?s sound and approach place him at the intersection of Broadway, jazz and pop ? the very essence of the Great American Songbook. Equally at home singing Broadway or jazz standards, Russ Lorenson sparkles in every song on his debut CD. Inspiring comparisons to Mel Tormé, Tony Bennett, Chet Baker and Johnny Hartman, Lorenson has a voice that one savors and remembers. A Little Travelin? Music is a cleverly conceived and beautifully balanced collection of jazz classics and Broadway gems that takes the listener on a musical journey via the great standards of the twentieth century. Features award-winning guest artists Shawn Ryan and Klea Blackhurst. Lorenson will embark on a 15-city U.S. tour in promotion of this CD, culminating in a weeklong engagement during the Edinburgh Festival in August 2006.
