'Make Belive' is my debut album, inspired by my absolute belief in following your dreams. I have always been fascinated by the idea of a world of make believe where anything is possible and where there are no restrictions by reality. I love the thought of following a yellow brick road to find a pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow! In 'real' life it is all about following your own yellow brick road to discover your dreams. If you believe in your dreams and you follow the right path, your dreams can come true! 'Make Believe' features 7 original tracks plus 6 saxophone and vocal favourites, covering a wide range of musical genres including Jazz, Swing, Blues, Latin, Funk as well as some emotional Ballads to showcase my versatility as both a saxophonist and vocalist. The musicians featured on my album are just INCREDIBLE! I cannot be more thrilled to be working with some of the best, most highly regarded and experienced musicians in the UK, each one bringing something special and unique to my album: Lee Jones - Guitar Alex Steele - Piano and Keyboards Anders Olinder - Hammond Organ and Piano Wayne Elliott - Bass Mike Cypher - Drums, Percussion and Backing Vocals Mirek Salmon - Accordion Danny White - Tuba Streve Trigg - Trumpet and Backing Vocals Andy Gilliams - Trombone My debut album has been a long time coming and has most definitely been a 'labour of love'. I am over the moon that it is finally coming to fruition at a time in my life when I feel I am ready to make my mark on the music world. I have been developing and growing as a musician, performer and composer all my life, right from my early recorder tunes in primary school, being inspired and motivated by players along the way, serving my musical apprenticeship in the pubs and clubs, studying an Expressive Arts degree, setting up and running my own bands, composing my own music, training with legendary saxophonists Pee Wee Ellis, Andy Sheppard and Andy Snitzer and now ultimately earning a living alongside my husband of 22 years (and drummer) as professional musicians. It has not always been an easy path and some very brave decisions have been made along the way. But we followed our yellow brick road in pursuit of our dreams and our dreams came true...Introducing my debut album 'Make Believe'. "A fantastic collection of songs" "Real classy stuff indeed!"
