Dearest Friends! I am very grateful to have your support and good wishes! I send you love, and a link to my music. ALBUM LINK: https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/blackolivejazz3 I just received these wonderful reviews! From New York Jazz Writer Dan Singer: KAY KOSTOPOULOS: EXOTICA It’s certainly not a bad idea to feature an entire 13-song CD with subdued and wild jazz influenced “Martin Denny” like sounding material. Kay just dazzles as she sings along with a group of San Francisco musicians called “Black Olive Jazz” a program of marvelous songs with brand new arrangements we haven’t heard before. “Bali Hai” (Rodgers/Hammerstein) starts things off in an inspired and creative way. This song never loses interest in a wonderful almost 6-minute performance. “Surrey With The Fringe On Top” (Rodgers/Hart) continues to surprise. As familiar the song happens to be with us, Ms. Kostopoulos very original reading here is wonderful. “Never Never Land” (Styne/Comden/Green) from “Peter Pan” is performed in a most resourceful way. “Caravan” (Tizol) contains many ingenious and movingly sweeping rhythms. Kay seems really at home and certainly on top of things here. The swing is very comforting and loose. “Passion Flower” (Strayhorn) is most lovingly inventive and remarkably artistic in this presentation. Dan Singer...reviewer, "In Tune International" From Jazz DJ, Dave Fabilli: "Bali Hai" (always dug this tune, anyway), "Enchantment" & "Cleopatra" -- LOVE the concept, love the selections & arrangements. The playing is good & appropriate, and the use of, or the blend of her voice w/the woodwinds, the "exotic" percussion... 5-stars for concept, theme & execution on this one. Great stuff. Very radio friendly... Dave Fabilli, Jazz Radio, Point Park
