Kate McGarry: Show Me
"The Thrill is Gone" is a Peggy Lee-Anita O'Day vamp sliding over Steve Cardenas' guitar and Karen Hammack's strolling piano. Perhaps the best song on the disc is "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." McGarry sings this over Scott Colley's capable bass and Kenny Wolleson's post bop drumming. She scats like a dream with out caricature.
Show Me
is a serious debut and should be considered as such by listeners. McGarry's carefully crafted approach and dense professionalism offers a very welcome change from a great deal of jazz vocal outings heard this year. I hope to hear much more from her in the future.For more information, see Palmetto Records and Kate McGarry .

I'm Sanctified and Southern Fried / Mama tried and daddy cried / I tell the truth 'cept when I've lied / And like my huevos on the side.
