A home recording of Joni Mitchell's classic "Both Sides Now" with a jazz arrangement inspired by Cassandra Wilson and Pat Martino.

Both Sides Now

"J.J. Johnson arranged the Richard Rodgers tune "The Sweetest Sounds" for Sarah Vaughan for her Sassy Swings Again album. On this session, Kenny Ascher's piano opening sets things up for Kat Gang to swing us yet again with her remarkable vocal instrument. Re-orchestrated here by Mark Miller, it displays the band's infectious swing quotient."

-Gary Walker, WBGO

The Sweetest Sounds

Love and the Lack Thereof - music/lyrics by Kat Gang
Mike Renzi - piano
Jay Leonhart - bass
Buddy Williams - drums

The album "Love and the Lack Thereof" is a beautifully crafted and passionate example of some of the best vocal jazz available today, with classic material, stellar musicians and a vibrant original singer in the spotlight.  

The album features Kat Gang’s romantic, sly, and swinging take on lesser-known gems from the American Songbook, from the Lerner and Lane classic “My Shining Hour” to the bittersweet “Nobody’s Heart (Belongs To Me)” by Rodgers and Hart.  The musicianship here is outstanding, with jazz master Mike Renzi leading the way as pianist/arranger alongside Jay Leonhart on bass and Buddy Williams on drums.  Guest appearances by Harry Allen on saxophone and Warren Vache on flugelhorn add spirit and depth.  The album was one of the last recordings ever made at the historic Nola Recording Studios, with the great Jim Czak as engineer. 


Kat herself has a soul steeped in jazz.  She is a singer who takes the melody and lyric and makes them new and unique for the listener, a singer who knows how to capture and keep an audience through the build of a song, and the changes in emotion.  The clarity and focus in her delivery is enchanting.  Kat studied music at Berklee and NYU and has performed twice at the GRAMMY Awards with the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, traded fours with Bobby McFerrin at the Blue Note Jazz Festival, and can be heard every week at various clubs in her adopted town in New York.
