"Jenkins will knock you flat….I've never been so seduced by music completely new to me yet as embraceable as any from the classic American songbook." (Bloomberg News, Jeremy Gerard) "Mr. Rosen’s earthy, tuneful songs…are notable, a continually shifting musical patchwork of blues, folk, jazz and pop …." (NY Times, Stephen Holden) “Capathia Jenkins' soaring voice — sweet, smart, sassy and full of soul — warmed the hearts of everyone in the audience…" (Chicago Tribune, Kerry Reid) THE ACHE OF POSSIBILITY (Di-Tone) is the third album release in three years from the highly acclaimed team of outstanding jazz/pop and Broadway vocalist CAPATHIA JENKINS and award-winning songwriter/guitarist and arranger LOUIS ROSEN. The album includes twelve new songs, eight with music and lyrics by Louis, and four with words by their favorite collaborator, the renowned poet Nikki Giovanni. These are songs of love and politics and choices; songs that capture something of the mood and spirit of this moment—the ACHE OF POSSIBILITY.
