Ms. Rita Edmond, exclusively debuts her new CD. It's signing a renewed lease, on the great American songbook. She can swing at every tempo, performs classy spontaneous improvisation with jazzy phrasing, refashioned, soulfully and imaginatively. A real Jazz singer, like the great Jazz vocalist sound of old, with a exciting new twist of 21st century soul.

She continues to share her love of Jazz and her growing number of fans. "Once I finally started singing Jazz,... I knew that this is what I had to do, this is what I was put here for." - Rita Edmond

"What you hear is someone with talent and grace, who understands the songs and the important interaction between singer and musicians, and how to convey that into a proper sounding recording. If this is only a mere Glance, I'm ready to join her on her life's mission". - John Book

"Backed by a four-octave range and years of gospel-ignited seasoning across North America and Europe, Edmond's recalls two of the all-time greats, reflecting the vocal power and majesty of Sarah Vaughan, the impeccable timing and phrasing of Carmen McRae, and the intense, natural musicality of both. Put in more contemporary terms, she should, in time, become the equal of Dianne Reeves." - Christopher Loudon
