Paul Abella
WDCB Radio (Chicago) - Music Director
Words & Music by Jeannie Tanner is Jeannie’s latest, and it’s a really unique concept for a CD: get 12 vocalists from around Chicago, write a bunch of tunes (a few with the specific vocalists in mind) and sit back and watch the magic happen. Jeannie herself appears on the trumpet in spots here and there, but for the most part, this is a showcase for, amongst others, Tammy McCann, Rose Colella, Paul Marinaro, Elaine Dame, Alyssa Allgood and Kimberly Gordon – a group that would be in any Chicago Jazz fan’s “A” list. Enjoy!
