Melody Breyer-Grell - The Right Time

Melody Breyer-Grell possesses the consciousness and depth to bring new emotions forth on this excellent offering she has titled The Right Time. Rich, meditative, and emotionally resonant, the New York-based vocalist brings such jazz standards as "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "You Go to My Head" into a new frame of mind. From her soul to her voice to the song, this highly imaginative vocalist brings a fresh and innovative experience to each song, singing a unique, compelling mix of jazz ballads and Great American Songbook favorites.

Accompanied by a top-flight ensemble, her voice lingers with you like a haunting refrain because of her sweet, swinging sophistication. New and veteran fans will appreciate Breyer-Grell's use of several harmonic complexities and her unique approach that is both modern and nostalgic.~Paula Edelstein
