Vocalist Kathy Kosins is an ASCAP award winning songwriter, record producer and recognized modern abstractionist painter.\n"the SPACE between" Kathy Kosins new CD, (MAHOGANY JAZZ RECORDS ) acknowledges her past while providing a glimpse into her future creative direction. The opening track "Drowning In A Sea Of Love" a Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff R&B composition signals Kathys continuing commitment to rhythm and blues as a foundational part of her current and future jazz creations. The past is represented by Kathys two previously issued jazz singles. Kathys tradition of finding and recording obscure songs continues with the song "You Were Only Passing By". The inclusion of a live bonus track performance of "Go Slow" from Kathys "Ladies of Cool" stage show acknowledges last years highly successful "To the Ladies of Cool" CD. "Go Slow" is the first live recording Kathy has even commercially released.\n"To the Ladies of Cool", ( Resonance Records * 2012 )is a contemporary exploration of the West Coast School of Cool that celebrates the artistry of Anita ODay, June Christy, Chris Connor and Julie London. The CD has international distribution.\nAbout the artist:\nASCAP award-winning vocalist Kathy Kosins has won the hearts of critics and fans around the globe with her eclectic musical palette that expands the rich history of jazz. Born and bred during the Motown era of Detroit, she began singing and arranging background vocals for producer Don Was in the early eighties, which led to her becoming one of the most sought after session singers. As a lead vocalist she recorded for both Carrere (Sony) and Quality Records and later toured with Was\u002FNot Was.\nIn the early "90s, Kosins, a ferocious writer and arranger, fell in love with the freedom of the jazz art form and her writing naturally evolved into a more traditional approach. Stints with the JC Heard and Nelson Riddle Orchestras followed and led to a 1996 release of "All In A Dreams Work" (SchoolKids Records), an impressive debut featuring a first rate collection of nine originals and a cover of the Miles Davis composition" Four." Reported by over 250 Jazz stations, she reached the top 20 in the Gavin.\nHer 2002 release of "Mood Swings" (Chiaroscuro Records) continued to bring her recognition and success at the national level. On her 2006 release of "Vintage," (Mahogany Jazz), she rediscovered little known songbook gems which she placed alongside a few widely known, yet unexpected tunes from outside the jazz tradition, which brought her glowing reviews from journalists.\nAlways a pioneer, Kosins decided to take a different approach in 2010 by releasing singles quarterly under the new Mahogany Digital label, rather than an entire CD every few years. The tradition of releasing singles runs deep in jazz music. Singles enable artists the freedom to create and record on a natural timeline that corresponds with fan demand and tour schedules. "If a live audience falls in love with a new song, I can record and release it to radio while the music is fresh and hot. This is something you can‟t do if you‟re committed in advance to a full album release," said Kosins.\nA past recipient of the Michigan Council for the Arts (Jazz Composer of the Year), Kosins has received grants from Michigan‟s ArtServe advocacy group. Her clinics and workshops teach performance skills alongside business strategies for the independent artist and have been a success at colleges and universities across the USA.\nWhen not touring the USA or Europe, Kathy excels as a painter. Her abstract acrylics on canvas are influenced by the cubist paintings of the "50s. Commissioned paintings are held in private collections and Kosins continues to sell her work at both gallery shows and concert performances. She also is known to paint as a multi media artist from the stage during various performances.\nKosins has recorded with many well known jazz and R&B artists to include Aaron Goldberg, Reuben Rogers, Eric Harland, Peter Bernstein, Larry Koonse, Tamir Hendelman, Robert Hurst, Jeremy Pelt, Jon Ellis, Howard Levy, Don Was, Martin Wind, Ben Wolfe, Michael Henderson and more.\nShe has shared the stage and performed with numerous names in the jazz and R&B world. A few notables are: Cyrus Chestnut, Terell Stafford, Randy Brecker, Javon Jackson, Larry Goldings, James Moody, Kevin Mahogany, Bernard Purdie, Greg Hutchinson, Eric Harland, Red Holloway, Grant Green Jr., Reuben Rogers, Reuben Wilson, Aaron Goldberg, Tamir Hendelman, Jesse Davis, Eric Marienthal, Matt Wilson, Mitch Ryder, Was\u002FNot Was and Michael Henderson\nTestimonials:\n"...she authentically recreates a lost genre of female jazz singing." — Ralph A Miriello — Jazz Journalist- Huffington Post\nIn (Dont Wait Up for Me), Kathy Kosins puts her sultry, elegant spin on one of Chris Connors less conspicuous triumphs on To the Ladies of Cool."- Elysa Gardner, USA Today\nShe has a voice that commands attention, and a band that rewards it.
