{"title":"Kathy Ingraham","description":"\u003cp\u003eEclectic jazz chanteuse and composer Kathy Ingraham returns with JAZZ DREAMS, her fourth album dedicated to the genre and a project that beautifully blurs the lines between jazz and classic rock. Inspired by the 1944 Oscar-winning short film Heavenly Music, the album is built on the idea that great songs can transcend genre, era, and expectation. Ingraham brings jazz arrangements to iconic rock ballads of deep cultural and personal significance, transforming familiar songs into something entirely new while honoring their original spirit. Throughout JAZZ DREAMS, Ingraham reveals new colors and emotional textures within songs that listeners thought they already knew. Selections like “Dream On,” “House of the Rising Sun,” “Ruby Tuesday,” “Eli’s Comin’,” and “Stairway to Heaven” are re-imagined with elegance, sensitivity, and a sense of musical storytelling. The album also includes two original compositions: “Little Things Redux,” previously featured in the Johnny Depp film The Professor, and “Melusina,” an ethereal tribute to a mythical ancestor from the House of Plantagenet. Surrounded by an exceptional group of collaborators—including Randy Brecker, Pete Levin, Elliott Randall, Joel Rosenblatt, Evan Christopher, Matt Wensor, William Galison, and Lily Del Rosso—Ingraham creates a rich and imaginative musical landscape that feels both nostalgic and completely original. Kathy Ingraham is a vocalist, composer, and recording artist known for her genre-defying style and distinctive voice, often compared to Nina Simone for its richness, and Blossom Dearie for its intimate charm. With a career that spans multiple recordings, film placements, and an international audience, she has built a reputation for interpreting songs with emotional depth, originality, and storytelling flair. Through her recordings and performances, Ingraham continues to explore the space where jazz, storytelling, and musical history meet—always with a voice that is unmistakably her own.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kathy-ingraham-jazz-dreams-cd","title":"Kathy Ingraham - Jazz Dreams (CD)","description":"Jazz Dreams includes \"Dream On\" (Aerosmith), \"House of the Rising Sun\" (famously recorded by the Animals), \"Ruby Tuesday\" (Rolling Stones), \"Eli’s Comin'\" (Laura Nyro) and \"Stairway to Heaven\" (Led Zeppelin).
