I  can&#8217;t believe my good fortune to have stumbled into this artist while  exploring some jazz albums on some local music store at mall last Sunday. Carol Welsman is a Canadian jazz singer and pianist.  She graduated in  the 1980s from the Berklee College of Music where she majored in piano  performance.  She is also an internationally acclaimed singer and pianist whose  expressive vocal styling and dynamic stage presence have captivated  audiences around the world. She has sold over 60,000 CDs in Canada  alone, something few jazz artists in Canada have experienced. Award  Winner for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d at the 2008 Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards,  and nominee for \u201cBest Female Vocalist\u201d, Carol&#8217;s musical career is  soaring to new heights. She has released seven CDs to date, and four  have received Juno Award nominations, the Canadian equivalent to the  Grammy Award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second reason why this album got my attention so much, somehow I feel her sound is similar to my all time favorite smooth jazz vocalist Diana Krall. The musical influences by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Keith Jarrett. This album is a joy from start  to finish. Wonderful vocalist &amp; pianist &#8230;  the product description above is excellent, so I cannot mention specific  songs but I simply adore the way she sings Hold Me, her voice is class. However, the entire CD is melodic &amp; warm (acoustic) with  both romantic ballads &amp; energizing upbeat tracks. Great artist, great music !<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/LsynSyT-wZ8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/LsynSyT-wZ8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I have gotten this excited over a new CD.
