(Naz)

Singer Nazia Chaudry (Naz) brings a welcomed voice to the vocal jazz scene. On Time After, her recording debut, Chaudry brings breathes new life into a set of classic pop standards, approaching them not as these rigid immovable relics, but as a singer with the influences of her time and generation would approach them. The style of the arrangements reflects this fact as well, with cleverly re-worked covers of tunes written or co-written by Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Lorenzo Hart, Ray Noble, Vernon Duke, Betty Comden, Bart Howard and Cyndi Lauper. The musicians on this production are Sergio Pamles on piano, Addison Frel on piano and Rhodes, Gilberto Contreras on acoustic guitar, Matt Horbeck on electric guitar, Brian Ward, Ross Schodek and Tyler Jackson on bass, Sean P.Jones on drums, Alex Fraile on saxophone and Matt Hurley on percussion. Chaudry’s warm and inviting musical presence is sure to win her many new followers and fans. A wonderful new talent.
