Two-time Grammy-nominated vocalist Catherine Russell, when asked to describe her new album, replied: "I like a love story that swings." Scheduled for release in April on the Dot Time Records label, *Send For Me* offers a fresh batch of a dozen newly recorded tracks for the singer's eighth album as a leader. She explains: "Songs that inspire me or touch me in some way. When I find a song like that, it haunts me until I learn it." Her mission is to find songs you may never have heard but that deserve your attention.
Russell's deep connection to her chosen material is part of a calling. As the daughter of pioneering and legendary musicians, pianist/bandleader/composer/arranger Luis Russell and bassist/guitarist/singer Carline Ray, Catherine Russell was born into jazz royalty. In her new album's selection, ranging from Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Luis Russell, Betty Carter, Kay Starr, Joe Liggins, Earl King, Jack Teagarden, Helen Humes, Frank Sinatra, Dakota Staton, Henry Red Allen, to Louis Armstrong, the singer is swimming in familiar waters. She sings a language that comes naturally, carrying forward a profound legacy.
