Search - Debra Mann :: A Time for Love

'In the right hands, the jazz trio is a thing of marvelous beauty, as the pianist, bassist and drummer react to and often anticipate each other's instant surprises. Debra Mann has graced New England's jazz stages for two decades. She's a fine pianist and is blessed with a crystal clear, silky-sweet voice. And for much of that time she has worked with her trio-mates, bassist Mark Carlsen and drummer Jack Menna. Debra's recording, 'A Time for Love,' stands out musically, but it's selection and treatment of songs also speaks volumes about the joy and love in her life. She has a pure voice and a natural delivery - nothing forced or phony.' -Ken Franckling, freelance jazz columnist, Providence Journal Bulletin On this recording, Debra ventures into more of her original compositions, along with the standard American jazz gems and Brazilian bossa-novas.
