Monika Ryan, award-winning jazz vocalist and songwriter, is celebrating her latest album, Playfully. Featuring eleven original tracks, "Playfully is a spirited celebration of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness,” says Monika Ryan. She is joined by a trio of veteran collaborators—Steve Einerson on piano, Rene Hart on bass, and Alvester Garnett on drums—adding depth and emotion to each song. Recorded at Kaleidoscope Sound studio by Chris Parks, Monika Ryan has made it her most ambitious album to date, having produced the entire album, from writing to arranging, to mixing and mastering. “I wanted to personally oversee the entire listening experience,” adds Ms. Ryan.
