Kristen Sings and Plays and Rings
Hello Everyone - I have been drumming and singing and playing percussion (marimba and vibes on this album) for over 30 years, and have now released my first album. It's almost all live, except for adding vocals over the band. We just got together at Linden Oaks Studios and played!
So happy to be able to share my jazz music with the world now. Thanks for having me join the Number One Community.
Here are some comments from fans:

I am really enjoying your CD..a triple threat as they say! And such an accomplished group all around.
I play a tune or two from it on my radio show on WHCL from Hamilton. I am on Wednesdays from 11am-1pm (when
the college is in session) And you picked my favorite Billy Joel song.

Hi Kristen,
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I LOVED your CD. I finally had time to sit down to give a serious listen and .... I had no idea what an all-around beautiful musician you are!
The singing alone is a TOTAL knock out - and that's without even mentioning the fantastic drumming and vibes playing. You really show so many sides of your musicality with this disc and I hope that it does great things for you. (BTW, Waters of March is one of my all-time favorite tunes.)
Again, I expected the drumming and vibes would be great but your singing, beyond fantastic!
Congrats and compliments from a guy who knows what it takes to juggle all of that at once! This is a major achievement, no matter how you slice it.

HEY! 
I am NOT into Jazz, definitely not and especially into those "bee-bup a dooooo- slow -stuff with brushes" 
I do not like brushes, do not like Jazz at all. (Uffff, what an intro,, but it has a purpose; keep reading)

BUT, but my dear friend Kristen, here comes, read carefuly: 
your CD is sooooo relaxing, pleasurable, and even more, it is erotic :) 
Hey, it made me really wanna have some "soft-sofa-red-wine-long-legs-talks" with my girl friend. 
Oh, now Flügelhorn just entered.... cool solo....wanna more wine? Fingers sliding on her knees... yeah :) 
I definitely will take this one for looong winter evenings this Christmas. 

SO , I am sure you never ever got such "review" like this one :) 
Take care, have a good holidays, hugs
