How do you transcend the towering jazz talents of John Martino-piano, George Mraz-bass, & Tim Horner-traps?..........You add to this tasteful musical omelet, the shimmering, assertive, vocalise of youthful jazz vocalist, Simone Kopmajer. There's an natural symbiosis between Simone & her sidemen as she slides in & out of the inventive rhythmic textures, patterns and accents her group offers.

Simone's singing is subdued, but the essence of what she creates vocally defines the essential character of her band..........Namely, this is a singer with sidemen who can manipulate The American Songbook with a highly developed sense of ensemble, musicianship, & counterpoint.........All bolstered by flexible accompaniment fundamental to the group's combined consummate performance.
