Jazz singing phenomenon Lyn Stanley returns with a follow-up to her smash audiophile triumph Lost In Romance — a brilliant new collection of classics of the 1950s titled Potions.
Potions draws from a broad palette of jazz, popular hits, blues, country, R&B and doo-wop (and one very special Gershiwn classic “The Man I Love” in a bonus track).
Stanley in October 2014 was named one of 40 semifinalists in the 2014 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. There were more than 500 female vocalists who entered from around the world. The award honors the “divine” jazz icon, who herself was the winner of an amateur singing contest at the legendary Apollo Theater when she was a teenager. To honor Vaughan’s legacy the New Jersey Performing Arts Center holds a worldwide talent search culminating with an exciting concert in the Victoria Theater.
Also a former USA amateur ballroom dance Pro/Am champion, Stanley’s unique voice has been described as “beautiful,” “rich in low tones,” with “phrasing and storytelling that makes her music very personal.” Her dancing background adds a special feel that few artists can deliver. L.A. jazz radio personality Bubba Jackson describes her as “the real deal — she has brought the songstress back to jazz!” Stanley was discovered by world-class jazz legend, pianist Paul Smith, best known as Ella Fitzgerald’s accompanist/conductor.
