Never Felt the Sun
by Julie Lavender —
Imagine sleepwalking through your existence, numbed out, when slowly you begin awakening to life and the simple pleasures around you.
You feel the sun on your skin, hear the rain, embrace the moonlight, and learn to love and be loved.
This is the theme of Lavender’s latest CD as she explores these universal themes with blends of smooth-jazz stylings, laced with hints of traditional jazz, a bit of the introspection of vocal new age, touches of classical music and the occasional feel and phrasing of Broadway showtunes singing.
She is backed by top smooth-jazz musicians and special guests.
