Now Music Lovers Everywhere Can Take a Feel-Good Sonic Ride to a Jazzy “Small Galaxy”

March 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Pacific Coast Jazz announces the digital release of smooth jazz vocalist Kathy Sanborn's Small Galaxy, the highly anticipated collection of songs that contemporary music fans are already calling “the feel-good album of 2010.” While Small Galaxy releases on March 1st through MP3 download everywhere on the planet, the CD version of the album will be available in stores and online April 6th, 2010.

Small Galaxy is packed with songs that are fresh and inspirational. From tap-your-feet tracks like the title song, “Small Galaxy,” to the rousing “Himalaya,” the new album shines with positive vibes. Fan favorites include “Be Coolin,’” a tropical laid-back pleasure, and “Catch the Wave,” a funky, joyful ride to a bright new day. Small Galaxy also features the silky tones of trumpeter extraordinaire Wayne Ricci, who adds his own sophisticated flair on several album tracks.

Critics are chiming in with words of praise for Small Galaxy. Jazz writer Susan Frances says: "Divine . . .an album tempered to caress the body and comfort the human soul." Columnist and music industry expert, John Shelton Ivany, says, “Kathy Sanborn is able to convey emotional truths with a sound no one else can produce--a quavering joy that works equally well over an ocean or acoustic chords of ballads. No one else sings like that.”

Known for her signature velvet voice, Sanborn performs her own original songs with an elegant, flavorful blend of sultry R&B, pop, and jazz that defies easy description. Think Sade meets Basia meets Norah Jones, and you'll get the general idea... Eric Cohen, music director of radio station WAER 88.3 in New York, says, “Kathy's voice truly is a gift from the heavens.”

According to the native Californian, her music celebrates the gift of life that we are all given. From the exuberant joy of the opening title track to the energetic spirit of the final track, Sanborn’s cheerful approach to life - and music - is evident. Her exceptional voice floats and swirls through each song, feather-light yet powerful, gliding as if on butterfly wings. The memorable melodies and catchy grooves of Small Galaxy keep your feet tapping, and the upbeat lyrics keep your spirits soaring through the Milky Way.

Sanborn says, “With my music, my goal is to bring a little bit of peace and joy to a listener‘s life. That’s what it’s all about for me . . . making music to create positive feelings, both for myself and my audience.”
