Roxanne Beck - Comes Love (2008)

"Comes Love," the new release from Los Angeles-based singer Roxanne Beck and Grammy-nominated producer Bud Harner, is an eclectic collection of eleven jazz and pop covers. Drawing from her rock, country and gospel background, Beck has emerged as a genre-busting vocalist who has been called a cross between Norah Jones and Linda Ronstadt.

"Comes Love" was overseen by former Verve A&R executive Harner ("Forever, for Always, for Luther") and arranged by New York piano player Jon Cowherd (Lizz Wright, Brian Blade), John Pondel (Kombo, Jazzhole) and Louis Durra. Chart-topping jazz guitarists Jeff Golub and Paul Brown guest on four cuts, with Brown and Jay Gore on the title track. Also featured on the album is a cadre of other well-known L.A. musicians, including Durra and Rodney Lee on piano, Ron Pedley on organ, Larry Antonino, Matt Bissonette and Jeff Falkner on acoustic bass, Pondel on guitar, and Dave Karasony, Henry Newmark and Harner on drums.
