Jude Johnstone's New Jazz/Blues CD, "Blue Light," on BoJak Records with National Distribution by Redeye Sets August 21 as Release Date
Singer-songwriter Jude Johnstone's new CD "Blue Light" on independent label BoJak Records hits the streets August 21 following her two critically acclaimed CDs "Coming of Age," and "On a Good Day." CD is dedicated to legendary engineer/producer Henry Lewy, who produced Johnstone early in her career.
Los Angeles, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) July 24, 2007 -- Singer-songwriter Jude Johnstone's new CD "Blue Light," released August 21 on BoJak Records with national distribution by Redeye, is a jazz/blues flavored project dedicated to legendary engineer/producer Henry Lewy, who produced Johnstone early in her career.
Jude Johnstone's new release "Blue Light" on BoJak Records is a rediscovery of a musical style rather than a departure from the flavor of her previous works in critically acclaimed cds "Coming of Age," and "On a Good Day." The music of Blue Light possesses the sensitive, soulful and poetic qualities found in the prior discs but returns Johnstone to the musical influences she grew up with in Ellsworth, Maine listening to Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney and Glen Miller from her father's record collection. "I thought it was just on in the background but, lo and behold, it had crept into my subconscious and my songwriting. After my father's death in 1987, I noticed that I couldn't hear Glen Miller's 'Moonlight Serenade' without getting all misty-eyed," said Johnstone.
