Singer, songwriter and saxophonist, Mindi Abair follows up her 2006 release, Life Less Ordinary, which debuted on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart at # 1, with Stars, a fresh blast of innovative vocals and modern instrumentals. Abair adds a refreshingly unique voice to an exciting new generation of crossover artists who are, like her, powerful instrumentalists as well as thought-provoking singer/songwriters. Her singles have hit number one over and over again on the Radio & Records charts (including “Lucy’s”, from the album, It Just Happens That Way, one of the longest running # 1 singles ever for a debut artist).

Stars. The new album from Mindi Abair, her forth albums and her debut solo for Peak Records label (Concord) is a unique mix of pop, soul, mid-tempo instrumentals jazz and vocals cuts…… catchy melodies and contemporary grooves leading a whole new movement in contemporary music. Stars puts her in a stand-alone category when compared to her contemporaries…and is not to be missed! The album represents a musical shift for Mindi; in addition to her signature sax sound, she has also featured her unique and modern approach to vocals on this album. Tracks like the sleek “Smile” and mid-tempo “Stars” will make you want more from this very talented artist, who has integrated more vocals on this album in order to widen her musical horizon and to reach into a wider audience.

Stars is a pop/jazz recording with spirited soloing and a good selection of material. Highly Recommended!
