Originally from Northern Germany and with a background in acting and as a writer Verena McBee brings a lot to the table and will showcase her gifts like new, original music featured in her ‘adventurous and explorative’ manner (“All About Vocals”), celebrating her own, unique arrangements with ‘sensuous interpretation’ (Scott Yanow) and embracing her theater-soul fully and passionately. “This is a lyricist deeply committed to the lyrics and melodies she is singing” (“Staccatofy”/Steph Cosme) and she is known for making use of her very attractive ‘wide range’. (Scott Yanow) “McBee’s ability to phrase like instrumentalist is very impressive” (“Sound in Review"/Shannon Smith) Enjoy also a wide range of composers on this new album: Kurt Weill, Chick Corea, A.C. Jobim, Cecil McBee, Joe Benjamin/MoK, Cole Porter and very truly yours – Verena McBee.
