To Bring Him Here
"An attractive singing voice and effective interpretations of lyrics, allied as they are to pleasing phrasing and a nicely understated swing, make this a very good introduction for a newcomer to the international jazz scene" ~Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal

To Bring Him Here is a collection of standards and originals that introduces Kristin Lomholt as a vocalist, pianist, arranger and composer.
The standards on this album include very rare selections like the Ornette Coleman original Lonely Woman and Deep Song, a selection from the dark corners of Billie Holiday's repertoire. Other selections are great standards from the more popular jazz repertoire like Let's Face The Music And Dance and the Gershwin standard How Long Has This Been Going On (great standards which after all, are called great for a reason).
This Music Mecca Release finds Ms. Lomholt in the company of five simply exceptional Boston-based jazz artists, trumpeter Tony D'Aveni, pianist Helen Sung, bassist Kaela Kaumeheiwa and drummers/percussionists Ron Savage and Ernesto Diaz. Together they have created an album of spirited, inventive, charismatic music making.
To Bring Him Here invites you to sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the music of Kristin Lomholt on so many different levels-the interesting choices of repertoire, the arrangements, the improvisations and the interaction of the musicians in her band, and, of course, her singing. Ms. Lomholt is truly a multi-talented artist.
