It’s Sunday, so here’s your Jazz.
I found Robin Stine on PodSafeAudio.com. This is the first time we’ve used a song from PodSafeAudio, and to tell you the truth it’s the first time I’ve looked at it. It’s a slick interface, and they’ve obviously put lots of time and effort into it. So, cheers to a new Creative Commons music source. 2006 really will be the year you find something you love under the Commons, I’m more certain of it day by day.
From PodSafeAudio.com :
“On her debut album Daydream, Robin Stine brews up a genre-bending blend of original jazz and bluesy folk tunes. With sultry, enchanting vocals her songs sound as if they’re straight out of a smoke-filled room in Tin Pan Alley. A mixture of sweet lullabies, swinging tunes and smoky love songs, Daydream speaks about the bitter and sweet sides of love. “Jazz and blues music is all about connecting with our emotions and enjoying the simple things of life. I like to write about life and love–naivet as well as naughtiness–all rolled up in one beautiful package.”
Born and raised in Kansas City, Robin began singing in church when she could barely see over a pew. All eight of the Stine children would stand in a row from oldest to youngest (that being Robin) and sing for the congregation. Later she toured and sang with the Light Singers gospel group for three years, singing in almost every state in the USA as well as Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Hong Kong and China. In college Robin began performing jazz throughout South Florida in various venues including the Jackie Gleason Theatre, Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Grand Bay Hotel, Sunset Place and area bookstores. During this time she also performed regularly with the band Mike Suman’s Swing City and her own trio Simply Stellar, integrating elements of jazz and pop music.
While living on the Gulf Coast of Florida for the last two years she’s managed to survive two major hurricanes, composed and recorded her debut album and performed in various cities such as Pensacola, Mobile, Destin, Nashville, Miami, Los Angeles and Atlanta.”
