Happy New Year!
I’m looking forward to lots of great new adventures, musically and otherwise this year.
There are a lot of shows coming up that I’m very excited about:
Jazz Country is making its debut at The Bar Next Door which is the perfect venue for this band. The newest version of Couples Therapy (featuring Jo Lawry, Oded Lev-Ari, Matt Aronoff and James Shipp) will be debuting at The Stone. Monday Off is at The Metropolitan Room for a very special show. I’ll also be participating in New England Conservatory’s 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Jazz Department at Joe’s Pub. Also, my new Jazz For Kids Series will continue every second Sunday at the 55 Bar and I have a few shows with Brenda Earle’s Sacred Voices Project.
All this before the biggest adventure of all…I’m having a baby! The little guy is due in April so I’ll be taking some time after that to get to know him.
The reviews for Lovefool have been amazing. Here’s a sample:
“Singer Amy Cervini’s work has been aimed at tearing down boundaries between old and new jazz styles, rock, pop, country and more—a reminder of Duke Ellington’s old axiom that there’s just two kinds of music, good and bad. Cervini demonstrably knows from good; head down to hear tunes from her new CD, Lovefool, and so will you.” – Time Out New York
“It’s a gem.” – All About Jazz NY
“...we love the new record.” – The Boston Globe
“Ms. Cervini is an articulate vocalist who doesn’t play tricks with the lyrics, gives the pieces the right amount of sincerity…” – Richard Kamins, The Hartford Courant
“Her singing drew distinctions between rhythm and phrasing – that is, she can swing, but she also knows where a lyric should fall in the melody and how to turn a syllable.” – Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix
“There’s an honest, self-assured and honey dripping presence clearly heard…” – All Music Guide
Hope to see you sometime soon!
