Hello darlings,

“Disclosure” is my letter to a dear friend.

It was a quiet fall evening when I thought about him and realized that he was reluctant to call me for a lack of good news to report. I knew that feeling well and wanted him to know that it was all right to not have news at all. I sat to write him an email but the first sentence came to me with a melody and I wrote him a song instead. And as songs often do, this one became a confession about my own aspirations, failures, hopes and dreams.

Musically, the melody led me to everything else. I followed its logic and wrote what made sense to me harmonically, the rhythm falling naturally to complete my mood. Gil Goldstein’s gorgeous arrangement is like magic dust - its delicate complexity matches the vulnerable, intimate conversation perfectly. His beautiful piano is once again joined by Steve Cardenas’ superb guitar as the two of them fill the space of my silences with masterful performances.

There is little else I can tell you about without revealing too much… So, have a listen, my friends, here is my “Disclosure”. xx

Hello jazzy darlings,

I have a new song for you!

Its beats were pounding in my head with such insistence they were impossible to ignore. The rhythm had invaded me and for two weeks I was tapping it on every surface or on my thighs when nothing else was available. The melody joined in out of thin air or perhaps out of the sun: I was in Sydney, Australia when it happened and the sun reminded me of Rio. I don’t know why...but this is how “Don’t Know Why” was born. 

Brilliantly arranged by Gil Goldstein who turned this song into a feast for jazz connoisseurs, it features masterful solos by himself on Rhodes, jazz veteran Steve Cardenas on guitar, and rising star Rit Xu on solo flute. Their playing is an exquisite conversation between jazz giants. Master percussionist Cafe DaSilva adds the final spark into the fire. Dance away, my friends, this is not a song for sitting out.

Happy spring!

Katherine, xx

Dear friends,

I'm delighted to announce the release of my song "Razor's Edge". It is the first single to come out from my upcoming album "It Happens Like That". 
‎ 
I wrote "Razor's Edge" at a difficult moment. Fragments of it came to me as I was trying to figure out my life, my direction... A song can't solve one's problems, of course... A song seldom gives answers. But like a good friend, a song can make you feel better because it takes what's in your heart and accepts it without judgement. And that's what "Razor's Edge" did for me - it listened and it made me feel better. 
‎ 
So, here it is. Arranged beautifully and produced by my music idol, the one and only Gil Goldstein, who is also playing the piano, it was recorded in the legendary Sear Sound Studios in New York. 
‎ 
I invite you to have a listen and hope my song will give you something good to feel.
