Love Philosophy, Live in Music City

"This album has attitude like you wouldn't believe. Mind you, I mean positive attitude. It moves you, grooves you, entices you, and convinces you that this is one artist who solidly and easily distinguishes herself from the run-of-the-mill vocalists and musicians...Farnham takes us on a dazzling and delightful musical journey to a land of cool, sexy and suave. I fell immediately in love with the material from the very moment my ears and soul took notice."
--The Smooth Jazz Ride (Vintage LP)

Love Philosophy

Award Winning "People" (feat Grammy Nominee Mindi Abair) (from Love Philosophy LP)

"Noche De Paz" - Holiday

Grammy U Mentor, Billboard-charting, 16-Time Global Music Award winning, internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter/pianist Katherine Farnham's music has been loved by industry veterans, fans and students alike. Hailed as "one of the top artists of our time" by journalist Toninho Spessoto she was composing, playing, singing and acting all by the age of five. 

On her previous recordings, much has been made of her singing which has earned comparisons to Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Diana Krall, and Sarah Vaughan. On “Love Philosophy”, Farnham shows she’s not just a brilliant vocalist, but also a classically-trained pianist and entertainer of the finest caliber. 

Even with all this, the third generation musician still had some large shoes to fill. Farnham’s mother was a concert pianist, composer, vocal coach, and former Director of New England Conservatory’s Wellesley Branch. She personally trained her daughter for over a decade. This tutelage went in a direct line from Katherine to her mother, to her mother’s teacher European concert artist Madame Dayas, to Dayas parents and then to legendary concert pianist/composer Franz Liszt. “For years I had no idea that my musical legacy led directly back to this incredible artist. Once this sunk in, I woke up and started to pay attention.”

With this kind of pianistic heritage, it is therefore no surprise that Farnham eventually made the piano a central focus. She recorded “Love Philosophy” on not one, but three world-class Steinway grand pianos. Combining originals with well-loved standards like “Besame Mucho” and Billie Holiday’s “Good Morning Heartache”, Farnham has created a world-class work. This album speaks lyrically of spiritual love with the title track and singles "People, A Tribute to Barbra Streisand (feat Mindi Abair)" and "Dreams (feat Denny Jiosa)" and also the hope of finding true romantic love with “Night of Romance”, a honest, heartfelt ballad complete with string section for which she won a Global Music Award as a songwriter. Other album tracks have earned Global Music Award Medals  - four for "Female Vocalist", and two for Jazz/Blues and Emerging Artist. 

The album features songs in English, Spanish and Portuguese, combining influences of jazz, Latin jazz, adult contemporary, and pop/R&B. Grammy nominees Mindi Abair and Denny Jiosa and Grammy winner and Blues Hall of Famer Darrell Leonard are featured as Guest Artists.
