This stunning new release may be Emilie-Claire's most personal album to date. There is an up-close and intimate tone that starts with the gorgeous cover art, and continues throughout this entire recording. The arrangements are fresh and focused, and all her own. Joined by an all-star band (Reg Schwager, Nancy Walker, Kieran Overs, Mark Kelso) and some fabulous guest soloists (Kelly Jefferson, Kevin Turcotte, Bill McBirnie, Alan Hetherington) Emilie-Claire leads the group, including a large string ensemble, through gems from the American Songbook (Almost Like being In Love, What A Little Moonlight Can Do, Surrey With The Fringe on Top), beautiful bossa novas (So Many Stars, De Conversa Em Conversa), and even a few tunes en francais! (C'est Si Bon, Les Yeux Ouverts). This album is romantic, playful, lush, swinging......timeless.LIVE DATES:May 3rd 2007 - Jazz Lives - Convocation HallJune 3rd 2007 Art of Jazz at the DistilleryJune 29th 2007 - Toronto Jazz Festival - The Rex July 1st 2007 - Montreal International Jazz FestivalJuly 12th 2007 - Uptown Waterloo Jazz FestivalAugust 1st 2007 - Dundas Square - TorontoSeptember 1st - Domaine Forget- St Irenee, QuebecSeptember 22rd 2007 - Port Hope Jazz Festival
