Irene Atman - VocalsFrank Kimbrough -PianoJay Anderson - BassMatt Wilson- DrumsJoel Frahm- Saxophone "New York Rendezvous" is the new CD release from world renowned Vocalist Irene Atman. The new recording features the great Frank Kimbrough on piano, Jay Anderson on bass, Matt Wilson on drums, and Joel Frahm on saxophone.

This wonderful quartet joins Atman here in her personal interpretation of such standard classics as "Taking a Chance on Love," "Alfie," & "Time After Time" among others. This recording captures not only one of the rising stars in the world of jazz vocals, but an extraordinary band in the supporting role. JAZZ REVIEW - Susan Francis - 2009"You can hear it in Irene Atman's voice, she was tutored by Petula Clark, Judy Garland and Peggy Lee. Well, maybe not literally because Atman is too young to have been trained by these ladies, but Atman learned to sing like these ladies when she was a little girl and exposed to her parents record recollection which included these artists and many other jazz vocalists like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. Atman has that irresistible intonation ringing in her timbres which jazz vocalists have. She has a storybook perfect pitch able to touch the listener's soul, understand the sorrows that burrow in their hearts, stroke their sensibilities with tender caresses and lick their wounds. She has a voice that can make the hardest soul melt in her lap, and the repertoire that she chose to showcase on her latest album, New York Rendezvous will have audiences doing just that...
