The Jazz For Kids guru returns with her own versions of some of the best standards from the traditional jazz repertoire.

I have been singing songs in this genre since I first heard vocal jazz when I was 15. As a vocal jazz major at NYU, I studied the greats- Ella, Sarah, Carmen, Anita and listened to how they interpreted the Great American Songbook into a free and easy singing vocal jazz style. I first discovered the art of vocalese when I studied with master vocalese experts Marion Cowings and Kim Kalesti. You may know these songs from my Jazz For Kids releases, but it all began because of my love for traditional jazz and this genre. Great musicians join me on this album. Brad Hatfield (Piano, Organ), Marshall Wood (Upright bass), Dave Buda (Electric bass) Jim Gwin (Drums), Ken Cervenka (Tumpet), Mike Monaghan (Saxophone), John Wilkins (Guitar). I hope listening to it brings you as much joy as I had producing it. Special thanks to Fiona Campbell for designing the album cover.

Songwriting duos often come about by happenstance, bonded by a similar creative spirit, but each bringing a unique element that combines to form it's own chemistry. R Keith Swanson and Lisa Yves met 18 years ago through ASCAP's songwriter's connection, one living in New York/London and the other living in Boston. Though the years they composed over 40 songs, starting first with their roots in jazz and musical theater, and then expanding into pop, country, rock and holiday songs. Though their creative collaboration has taken them down many roads together, they have only been in the same room once since meeting, composing all of their music remotely with the help of technology. Having created a substantial body of work as a co-writing team, with R Keith as the lyricist and Lisa as the composer (and often times the female vocalist), they have come together to release their first album, a collection of 14 of their songs, spanning genres called, When Time Stood Still; a long awaited calling card that they hope brings as much joy and inspiration to the listener as they felt in writing and producing the various songs.

A songwriter's take on the pervasiveness of violence in the human experience and the numbing response. A most unique studio album co-produced by the brother and sister team, Lenny Sukienik and Lisa Yves.

A songwriter's take on the pervasiveness of violence in the human experience and the numbing response. A most unique studio album co-produced by the brother and sister team, Lenny Sukienik and Lisa Yves.

I have been creating music since the age of 12, playing the old Kohler and Campbell upright piano in my parents living room and learning how to sing. I used to jam on the piano with my brother Lenny on the guitar so our history of making music together is very rich. We co-wrote and co-produced this album for your listening and thought provoking pleasure and interest.
