Dot Time Records is thrilled to announce the release of My Ideal, a breathtaking new album from GRAMMY®-nominated vocalist Catherine Russell and prodigious pianist Sean Mason. This modern classic marks a significant milestone in both artists’ careers, capturing a powerful and intimate musical dialogue. My Ideal is a very special project even within the very rarified strata where Catherine works; it is her first voice and piano duo recording.
Since her 2006 debut solo album, Catherine Russell has captivated audiences with her rich, melodious voice and exceptional interpretive skills. Her eight previous solo albums have garnered critical acclaim. Send For Me (2022) marks her first collaboration with Sean Mason. My Ideal elevates their partnership to new heights, delivering a complete set of voice-piano duets that harken back to classic jazz traditions. Sean Mason, a remarkable talent at 25 years old at the time of recording, complements Russell’s vocal artistry with his sophisticated and nuanced piano playing. Despite his youth, Mason’s profound understanding of the techniques allows him to brilliantly support and enhance Russell’s interpretations.
