Serenity Over Coffee

The Great American Songbook - Russ Robinson
Dedicated to Brenda Robinson
This album was made between mid-July and the end of September 2020. I selected 10 of my
favorite tunes from “The Great American Songbook,” from a list of over 60 possibilities. I’m singing all vocals and playing all instruments (trumpet, trombone, guitars, keyboards, strings, percussion, etc.). I also engineered all of the mix-downs to this final product. A way(perhaps, the only way) to make music during Covid-19. All arrangements were made “organically” (no written parts), and I tried to give the album a “live” feel as if you are listening to a group of musicians in a jazz club (in this case, all me!). Listen on some good speakers or headphones. 
I hope you enjoy this album as much as I enjoyed making it!

Les feuilles mortes

"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart coming of age musical Babes in Arms in which it was introduced by teenaged star Mitzi Green. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. One of them was Chet Baker, for whom it became his signature song. In 2015, it was announced that the Gerry Mulligan quartet featuring Chet Baker's version of the song was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the song's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy". Mulligan also recorded the song with his Concert Jazz Band in 1960.

My Funny Valentine

Multi award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter and pianist Laila Biali has toured with Chris Botti, Paula Cole, Suzanne Vega and Sting. She has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents, from Carnegie Hall in New York City to the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Her accolades include a 2019 JUNO Award (Canada's GRAMMY) for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year”, top prize at the 2018 Canadian Songwriting Competition (Jazz), “SOCAN Composer of the Year” and “Keyboardist of the Year” at Canada’s National Jazz Awards, a JUNO nomination for Tracing Light, and a spot on DownBeat Magazine’s “Best Albums of the Year” list for Live in Concert. In 2015, Laila released her first album of entirely original music, House of Many Rooms – an indie-pop project featuring a star- studded lineup including the vocalist Lisa Fischer, who is featured in the Academy Award-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom. In September of 2017, Laila was brought on as the host for CBC Music’s national radio show, Saturday Night Jazz. And while Laila continues to earn high honours in the Jazz world, her unique genre-bending sound is what sets her apart as she "masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy.” (Washington Post) She will release her next album in March 2020.
