"Absolutely beautiful music!"
The first full-length solo CD from Chicago vocalist Jen Zias is here!
Take Me With You covers songs from many of the last century's most popular
composers: Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Jimmy Van Heusen, John Mandel, Peggy Lee, and Alan and Marilyn
Bergman, among others. It features one of Jen's own compositions, "Can't I
Lie?", and the debut recording of the Emily Dickinson poem, "Wild Nights",
beautifully set to music by composer Glenn Mehrbach.
This recording is Jen's tribute to her past seven years performing first at the legendary Pump Room
in Chicagos Ambassador East Hotel (at one time the steady gig of Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee) and currently at the world-famous Drake Hotel Chicago. It's dinner music at its most appetizing, meant to be danced to with a loved one, or shared with friends over a glass of wine.
A collaboration between Jen and her trio, Take Me With You showcases the wonderful talent of Dennis Anderson on piano,
Joe Policastro on bass, and Corey Radford on drums.
