The Seventh edition of the late-great Carl Saunders remarkable, extensive songbook; a ‘Volume’ with vocals was always discussed, but didn’t take shape til Saunders passed away thanks to Marina Pacowski and Scott Whitfield who relentlessly put it together w/ LA’s finest crop of musicians!

Marina Pacowski was born in France and is based in Los Angeles. She is a multi-faceted artist: multi-awarded concert pianist, sought after collaborative pianist, and accomplished vocalist. Her previous recording on Summit Records was critically acclaimed by both reviewers and radio. Here she presents the ultimate tribute to the great Carl Saunders with an amazing performance!

Carl’s music, while being beautiful, is also complicated and challenging, both melodically and harmonically. The influences are impressive. During the ’60s-’80s Carl played with a countless number of show bands, including lead trumpet with Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennet, and Frank Sinatra. Saunders also traveled as a lead player with Paul Anka and Robert Goulet and with such bandleaders as Harry James, Maynard Ferguson, Benny Goodman and Charlie Barnet.

Asked to define jazz, Carl once said, “It’s a combination of intellectual funk and hypnotic swinging”.

Marina Pacowski brings Carl’s music to life in a fabulous way!

“New Jazz Standards Vol 7 the Music of Carl Saunders is a grand slammer of a performance. It touches all the bases of excellence. It will not only attract new listeners to Pacowski but also propel the music of the great Carl Saunders out to discerning listeners... An outstanding vocalist with a truly hip and deeply swinging approach. She’s perky, got flair, and uber-style. One can easily sense a deep familiarity with Saunders’ material, as well as the trumpeter’s highly unique improvisations. Her time, pitch sense, and diction are all dead-on. She can easily cover the broad range of material here from the hip to the balladic to the hard-swinging. The supporting ensemble is simply magnificent, buying completely into both the vibe of the date and that of its honored subject.” - Nick Mondello

— Bebop Spoken Here

“Every song on this album is a journey into the mind and genius of Carl Saunders. Pacowski is creative when spontaneously singing a new melody during her smooth scatting. She thinks like a horn player. Her soprano vocals against John Clayton’s rich bass accompaniment are stunning.” - Dee Dee McNeil
