Grammy-nominated vocalist Catherine Russell has announced a new album called Send for Me, due to be released in the spring of 2022.
Russell has established herself as a prolific vocalist, working as a backup vocalist with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Diana Ross, Madonna, David Bowie and Steely Dan before beginning an impressive solo career in 2006.
The new album follows her 2019 release Alone Together, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for best jazz vocal album and landed at No. 1 on JazzWeek’s year-end chart.
Russell’s eighth album as bandleader, Send for Me, features more than a dozen newly recorded tunes she carefully curated. “Songs that inspire or touch me in some way. When I find a song I like, it haunts me until I learn it,” Russell says. “The album is an invitation, welcoming the audience to come along on a journey.”
