Natalie Cressman - Unfolding [CD]

Natalie Cressman and Secret Garden is a project that exposes the elasticity of genres, pushing away musical boundaries and allowing styles to blend into one another, and in the process creating something refreshing and universal. The music featured on 'Unfolding' encompasses the varied influences of all the great music of today, including jazz, indie rock, R&B, folk, and world music. However, the nature of this project is to do away with those labels entirely in order to create a unique hybrid that transcends the limitations of categorization.'Unfolding,' Natalie Cressman's debut album, features nine songs, seven of which are original compositions. The band consists of Ivan Rosenberg (trumpet), Chad Lefkowitz-Brown (tenor sax), Pascal Le Boeuf (piano), Ruben Samama (bass), Jake Goldbas (drums) and special guest Peter Apfelbaum (tenor sax.
