From pensive and meandering tracks like “The Small Things” to the adventurous and wild “When You Walked In The Room,” Ross showcases her impressive vocal range and storytelling prowess.
Notably, the album features an ode to a renaissance man in “Trumpet Man,” and the playful “The Don’t Stop Just Breathe Ragtime” brings vibrant instrumentation to life. Concluding with the energetic instrumental “Thursday Thoughts,” Ross leaves listeners with a sense of boundless energy and ideas.
As a multi-award-winning artist, Ross has garnered recognition for her outstanding work, including Best Jazz Song and International Female Songwriter of the Year accolades. Her album promises to be a compelling and well-crafted addition to her impressive repertoire.
