Mellow Tones

Jazz vocalist and pianist Dena DeRose is back with a stunning recording that solidifies her place among the most communicative and sophisticated artists in jazz today. DeRose has captivated audiences with acclaimed albums like 'Ode to the Road' (HCD7323X) and 'United' (HCD7279X) and here she unveils her latest project, featuring her musical compadres of choice, bassist Martin Wind, and drummer Matt Wilson. Also appearing on two tracks is special guest, the remarkable trombonist Ed Neumeister.

'Mellow Tones' showcases DeRose's signature blend of swing and heartfelt balladry underlining her reputation as "a supremely, elegant pianist and singer who exudes an effortless sense of swing" (Downbeat). The album is also notable for the first recording of DeRose's own compelling composition, "Hold Fast to Your Dreams" based on the poetry of Langston Hughes. Throughout the session, she performs her music with the warmth and insight that have made her a favourite among the jazz cognoscenti.
