New Vocal Jazz Album Six Degrees of Cool Spotlights Financial Woes of the 99%

Sept. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Six Degrees of Cool, the newly released vocal jazz project from singer, pianist, and composer Kathy Sanborn, shines a light on the economic turmoil of the 99-percenters.

Packing a punch on the nature of economic hard times are the songs “Bitter Winter” and “Shanty Man,” the last a song describing the effects on a family in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Sanborn says, “Bitter Winter describes the nature of the times we’re living in; homeless families, jobless people, and just plain hard times. But the song isn’t a negative vibe: it says we are looking for a better world right now. And if we are looking, we can surely find it.”

The vocalist/composer’s “Shanty Man” paints a picture of a 1930s man who hops from train to train in order to find work, ending up miles away from his wife and children. Sanborn explains, “I wanted to go back in time to the Great Depression, because those days were, in many ways, just like today.”

“Shanty Man” is a powerful, driving musical statement, sure to make the listener reflect on the way history tends to repeat itself - over and over again.

Just released August 28, 2012, Six Degrees of Cool recently reached Amazon’s MP3 Vocal Jazz bestseller list. The album is available for purchase through Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, and other fine retailers.
