Herb Caruso

Born: July 10, 1955

Critically acclaimed Herb Caruso (formerly known as Hansi Caruso) has been crooning his way through the Austrian jazz landscape since 1985. 
It was throughout these years he developed an extroverted, yet credible stage personality that lead into a steady mission of not only keeping but honoring the almost forgotten tradition of the American Songbook. 
On his latest work Caruso salutes the greats and effortlessly displays his deep love for jazz ballads with respectful but worthy intimate takes on standards such as „Someone to Watch over me“ or „I am fool to want you“

Joan Watson-Jones Releases Fifth Album, LOVE SINGS

There are vocalists and there are singers. A vocalist hits every note perfectly and has honed his or her craft to sonic perfection. A singer simply sings songs. The goal is not perfection, but communication. The vocalist is a high wire performer, while the singer tells stories closer to the earth. Joan Watson-Jones is a singer,' says jazz journalist Eugene Holley, Jr. in the liner notes to the singer's fifth album, Love Sings, set for release on Friday, September 18.

For three decades, Watson-Jones, the New York City-born, Derry, New Hampshire-based artist has been independently building herself into an endearing and entertaining singer/lyricist, as evidenced by her other four albums: One More Year (1996), I Thought About You (2006), Quiet Conversation - A Duet (2013) and Choices (2021). Buoyed by the piano and tap dance lessons she received as a child growing up in Harlem, along with her master's degree in Music Education from the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, Watson-Jones, who also hosts the podcast, The Jazz Room, tells syncopated stories about life and love that everyone can relate to.
