Roberta Donnay - Bathtub Gin '2015

Tracks list

       With her singularly enticing sound, equal parts Maria Muldaur mewl and
breezy Blossom Dearie trill, few contemporary vocalists are as well suited to
dustily vintage material as jazz-blues stylist Roberta Donnay."
- Christoper Loudon, Jazz Times

"Stylistic kind to flappers of the anything goes 1920s, Roberta Donnay has a
silky, clean voice that is a small marvel of geniality, rarely dipping into
touchy-feely cuteness."
- Frank-John Hadley, DownBeat

"Exploring the music and spirit of this bygone era is clearly a labor of love
for Roberta Donnay. She injects enthusiasm into her chosen material, shows
respect for her musical primogenitors, and conjures thoughts of a different time
with Bathtub Gin."
- Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

Joining the tradition of such singers as Josephine Baker, Peggy Lee and Annette
Hanshaw, Roberta Donnay and her Prohibition Mob Band present a dazzling array of
jazz age classics and four original compositions that feel right at home in this
collection. Donnay's sweet, but frank delivery pairs with her flashy horn
section for a sound that comes straight out of the speakeasy.
