Half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios

Pressed at Pallas in Germany

Vocalist Valerie Joyce debuted with the May 2006 release of New York Blue on Chesky Records. New York Blue is a collection of classic jazz, standards, and pop tunes that showcase the singer’s distinctively smoky vocal sound and nuanced performance. Producer David Chesky says, “Valerie has a great feel for the music and has one of the most unique singing voices I have ever heard.”

Pianist Andy Ezrin worked with Valerie on the arrangements for the album’s 13 tracks that range from tunes by Cole Porter and Rogers & Hart to Miles Davis to the Beatles. They are joined on the album by musicians Lawrence Feldman on saxophones and Eugene Jackson and Tim Lefevre taking turns on bass for a live recording that is pure Chesky.
