Allyson's most recent release was Many A New Day: Karrin Allyson Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein - praised as "masterful" by The Associated Press, and "beautifully nuanced" by USA Today - her 14-song Motema CD deftly created a bridge between the worlds of jazz and musical theater, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Karrin talks more about the project here: aiartists.com/wp-content/uploads/KA-Rodgers-Hammerstein.pdf.
