The Jazz Bakery for New CD Release Celebration Feb. 27 - March 1, 2008

Carmen Lundy, a Jazz singer who radiates class and sophistication is back with her 10th CD "Come Home" from Afrasia Productions a collection of 11 self-penned compositions with a stand alone classic," Nature Boy" and Lundy's rendering of "Nature Boy" is luscious, sure to cause a frenzy.
Recorded by top engineer Joe Ferla (whose work includes John Mayer, David Sanborn, Bill Frissell, Betty Carter and many others), Come Home features the extraordinary talents of pianist Geri Allen, who joined Lundy's stellar band for the sessions.
Stretching out beyond the studio and concert stage, Lundy an actress has played the lead role in Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Lady stage production, and portrayed Billie Holiday in Lawrence Holder's off-Broadway production They Were All Gardenias.

Ms Lundy comes to The Bakery after sold out performances with Miami's Symphony Orchestra. She will be joined at The Bakery by her core band(Anthony Wonsey on piano, brother Curtis Lundy on bass, Mayra Casales on percussion, and Jason Evan Brown on drums).

For three decades Lundy has accomplished the near impossible for a jazz singer focusing largely on self-penned material.

Says Lundy, "Making this record was about finding my own voice. Not a jazz voice, but a universal voice. I found my voice and I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted to musically, on Come Home."
