WHAT'S YOUR STORY?, the new album from internationally recognized jazz artist Kristin Korb answers that very question with 12 timeless tunes that celebrate her story as a jazz vocalist and bassist A singing double bassist with a deep sense of swing, Korb combines the instrumental influence of Ray Brown and Charles Mingus with the vocal styling of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald to create a sound all her own. Exhilarating to watch live, she sings and plays the bass as effortlessly as she breathes. Korb and her All-Star trio featuring musical powerhouses Bruce Forman on guitar and Jeff Hamilton on drums, share an inspired set of popular songs using innovative arrangements. From Porter to Pinkard, Grouya to Caymmi - What's Your Story? treats listeners to fresh renditions of some of the all time great compositions and introduces an original song. Some of the highlighted tracks include - Track 6, a fun and unusual version of Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In." Just when you think you've heard every possible version - Korb, Forman and Hamilton kick in the coolest, hippest jazz-on-the-prairie version yet. Track 7 is a smoking hot take on Pinkard, Tracey and Tauber's "Them There Eyes." Kristin doesn't merely perform the song made famous by Billy Holiday; she makes it fly in a new direction, re-inventing the song for a whole new generation of jazz lovers. When the song hits full-tilt and words loose all meaning, Korb's skilled scatting completes the ride. Track 12 brings the story current by introducing a new contemporary song "Always Searching for My Baby" written by Amber Navran. What's Your Story? has something for every fan of traditional and contemporary jazz and blues. Perhaps this collection of songs will become part of your own story. 'Whenever Kristin Korb's voice isn't catching your attention another portion of the musical arrangement is. What more could you want from an album?' JT Reyes.
