Somewhere

There are many fine female vocalists based in Canada, and among the best of them is Vancouver-based Angela Verbrugge. On Somewhere (OA2 Records - 22228) she concentrates on standards, such as "I Had the Craziest Dream," "Somewhere," and "Born to Be Blue", among others. She adds her own "Je Ne Veux Pas Te Dire Bonsoir." Her support comes from Ray Gallon or Miles Black on piano, Cameron Brown or Jodi Prozniki on bass, and Anthony Pinciotti or Joel Fountain on drums, with Dave Say adding his sax on two tracks and Erik Kalaidzis providing a vocal duet partner on "Somewhere." Verbrugge has a pleasant voice that draws you in, and she can swing out smartly when the arrangement calls for her to do so. The musicians provide wonderful accompaniment that enhances her
vocal artistry. The album clocks in at only 30 minutes and leaves you wishing for more.
