Christy Baron I Thought About You: One-Step

Christy Baron's 1997 Album I Thought About You: One-Step on 180g LP from Chesky Records

Pennsylvanian jazz singer Christy Baron's 1997 album I Thought About You was the first of three albums she recorded for Chesky Records, the New York record label renowned for its high-quality audiophile recordings.

Recorded live in the warmly resonant space of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, the album finds Baron's lush, velvety voice framed by Cliff Korman's eloquent piano, David Finck's elastic double bass, and Payton Crossley's finely nuanced drums. Baron's repertoire for this impeccably produced set blends evergreens from The Great American Songbook ("Misty") with jazz standards (Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight"), soul music classics (Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine") and three peerless interpretations of numbers plucked from Stevie Wonder's iconic album, Songs in the Key of Life, including a sensational reading of "Knocks Me Off My Feet."
