Grammy-nominated vocalist Catherine Russell and rising pianist Sean Mason share a deep musical bond that elevates their already remarkable individual talents. Their collaboration spans a broad spectrum of African-American and American popular music, from blues and R&B to jazz standards and the Great American Songbook. Together, they offer a fresh yet timeless sound. As Russell says, “Singing with Sean allows for freedom and fun in the moment.” Their new album, My Ideal, explores jazz’s roots with tributes to James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Ray Charles, and Frank Sinatra, making for an unforgettable night of music.
