Andy Farber & His Orchestra, “How Am I To Know” feat. Catherine Russell [Song Premiere]
Saxophonist Andy Farber will release Early Blue Evening, his second album with his 17-piece big band, on August 27 and ArtistShare. This is a swing and blues showcase featuring nine originals and two Farber-arranged standards, including a take on the Parker and King standard, “How Am I To Know” with Catherine Russell on vocals. “I really dig working with Catherine Russell,” says Farber. “She’s laid back, soulful and sophisticated, all at the same time. She’s a ‘musician’s musician’ because she is always listening, and is acutely aware of her musical environment, and is adept at contributing the tastiest morsels of melody.”
