Product Description:
Bonnie J Jensen's second release (March 2004) is a soulful, modern mix of jazz-treated popular tunes, plus three originals, inspired by her travels. Bonnie's first album, Lucky So & So, was released in 2001 and quickly rose to No. 3 in the A.I.R. charts. It continues to sell well in five countries. Presently working in Tokyo, Bonnie has established herself as a respected singer, songwriter and piano player, who has developed her talents through prestigious long-term residencies world-wide. Shane Nicols of the Australian Financial Review recently awarded Blue Joy 8 out of 10 stars, and said, "... a confident, bold and coherent statement of a musician (singer, player,composer and arranger) hitting stride. Jensen is that rarest of things in Australian singers - a full blooded, grown up sexy woman unafraid to let her passions and eroticism inform her music in a sophisticated way, beyond the usual raunchy, bluesy stuff." The personnel include Bonnie J Jensen - vocals (+ piano track 12);
Andrew Oh - alto flute, flute; Craig Walters - tenor sax; Don Rader - trumpet & flugel horn; Jeremy Sawkins - guitar; Michael Bartolomei - piano/keyboards; Jonathan Zwartz - double bass; Fabian Hevia - drums & percussion.
