Style: Mix of Jazz, Classical, Latin, and Pop Familiar Songs Lets Never Stop Falling in Love Clementine Tempo Perdido Ojala Pink Martini was the brainchild of classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale and vocalist China Forbes; fusing a vast array of influences spanning Cuban jazz to music hall to film scores, the group honed an exotic sound which led to their 1997 debut LP, Sympathique. The group's sophomore effort, Hang on Little Tomato, emerged seven years later, followed by Hey Eugene! In 2007. Kim Horn My parents told me that my infatuation with music began as a little baby hanging on the living room console record player, trying to figure out where the sounds were coming from. I can still remember the album playing - it was the great Duke Ellington with Rosemary Clooney. My other favorite singer was a man that would sing to me and my younger siblings all the time for our joyous reactions (and my mother's rolling eyes) - my father. He was so good. He would play those 78 RPM records and sing along until we would fall asleep. I always thought our daddy was famous until I could read and figured out the name "David Horn" did not look like "Billy Eckstine"! My dad was a great father who dreamed of singing as a living, but he died never fulfilling his dream. Only his family and a few good friends had the privilege to hear his wonderful gift. His only priorities were to raise his family and to take care of his very sick wife. I have always looked up to my father as a great role model in my life - the head of my spiritual family. I wanted to be like him in every way. Especially his singing. As a teen and young adult, I experimented with all kinds of musical styles (I even did a stint in heavy metal, believe it or not). Once our band rejected a young drummer who didn't make the cut... turned out to be Lars Ulrich of Metallica! Settling into the jazz vocal genre, I've had the privilege of working off and on (mostly off) with many young artists who are some of the top performers today - Mindi Abair, Jeff Kashuwa, Tom Zink, Wendell Kelly, Phillip Ingram, and many more. I've even worked with some legendary performers of yesteryear: the great Herb Jeffries, Ernie Andrews, and Wilton Felder to name a few. Realizing that a torch Mr. Jeffries symbolically gave me needed to be carried on for future generations (the same torch my father passed on to me as a young man, which I will pass on to my son), I've committed my music to keep our heritage - America's tradition of jazz vocals - alive and well. Hope you enjoy listening as much as I love bringing this music to you. Pechanga Resort and Casino
