One of the finest jazz singers to emerge in the 1990s, Grammy® award-nominated Karrin Allyson scats with authority, navigates achingly slow tempos with ease and swings with abandon. Allyson has released a particularly impressive body of work for Concord Jazz, with a series of savvy, well-conceived albums exploring a polyglot repertoire of Monk and Coltrane, French chanson favorites and luscious Italian ballads. She transforms contemporary pop songs by Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt while reinvigorating American Songbook classics and enduring jazz standards. Her latest release, 2008’s Imagina: Songs of Brasil, finds Allyson delving into a deliciously cool body of bossa nova hits.
