Can't Find My Way No More

Tim Tamashiro, host of CBC Radio Two's national jazz program "Tonic" says that jazz can be either "thinky" or "drinky". Drinky jazz is the tonic for people who think they don't like jazz because they don't get it; it's fun, tap-your-toes party music.

I know plenty of jazzers out there disagree with this dichotomy, but who doesn't love fun music, right? "Drinky" was what I had in mind when I wrote this song.

This swingy tune that starts with a woman walking into a bar and ordering a stiff drink. She’s also looking for a willing ear to discuss her romantic troubles. The bartender is warmly sympathetic, which she finds comforting. Well, I won’t tell you how it all ends, but isn’t it fun when a song tells a story?

This song features Steve Amirault singing the bartender's part.

The seed for this whole album started with George Koller. He happened to be in the Yukon back in April 2014, so I whisked him into the recording studio. We managed to record four tracks in three hours and I thought about releasing them on their own as an EP called "Just the Bassics", but instead, that session grew into the album that became Pairings. I wrote Just a Little Dance especially for us to play together.

Fawn Fritzen - Pairings - Just A Little Dance

From Jazz in the Hall, November 3rd, 2011 in Whitehorse, Yukon.  With Anne Turner on bass.

Bye Bye Blackbird - Live

This beautiful song by Francesca Blumenthal was a joy to sing with Reg Schwager. Reg brought a laid-back, soothing energy to the studio. We ran through the tune just to get a feel for each other and were ready to get started. Reg smiled his gentle smile at me through the glass of the vocal booth and said, "All we have to do is tell a story."
