recording distinctive jazz for the listener and for the art itself MXJ 118

ERIN BODE DON'T TAKE YOUR TIME Music is a wonderful way to communicate.   This recording is a collection of some of my favorite songs.   Each song has a special meaning to me.   I grew up listening to some of the songs such as “Count Your Blessings”, “Here, There And Everywhere” and “If It's Magic.”   “But Not For Me”, “Gee Baby” and “I've Never Been In Love Before” are some of my favorite jazz standards. The title track “Don't take Your Time” is an original, which I co-wrote with pianist Adam Maness, and you can also see us perform this song live in the studio on the CD-ROM, which is a part of this CD.   In all, the words and music combined in this recording tell such beautiful stories and express some of the most fundamental human emotions I'm so happy to be able to share this music with you.   I hope that you will love listening to the songs as much as I love singing them. — Erin Erin Bode, vocals Bruce Barth, piano and fender rhodes Larry Grenadier, bass Montez Coleman, drums Steve Nelson, vibes Adam Rogers, electric and acoustic guitar Meg Okura, violin Adam Maness, piano Sydney Rodway, tenor saxophone Jerry Barnes, background vocals TRACK LISTING 01 DON'T TAKE YOUR TIME     3:43       Erin Bode & Adam Maness 02 HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE     4:09       John Lennon & Paul McCartney 03 IN THE PINES     4:56       Bill Monroe 04 TONIGHT I'LL BE STAYING HERE WITH YOU     4:46       Bob Dylan 05 TIME AFTER TIME     4:51       Cyndi Lauper & Rob Hyman 06 BUT NOT FOR ME     3:57       George & Ira Gershwin 07 JUNIOR AND JULIE     3:12       Matt Dennis 08 IF IT'S MAGIC     4:13       Stevie Wonder 09 I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE     3:44       Frank Loesser 10 YOU     4:11       Bob Thiele Jr., John Shanks & Tonio K. 11 I WALK A LITTLE FASTER     4:12       Cy Coleman & Carolyn Leigh 12 GEE BABY AIN'T I GOOD TO YOU     3:38       Andy Razaf & Don Redman 13 COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS     4:53       Irving Berlin       Total Length     55:06
