The album has five original songs - always fun to listen to - as well as Bria's take on nine previously written songs. Some of them are more well-known than others, such as Que Sera Sera and Malaguena (which suits a trumpet quite well). Others were vaguely recognizable, but I still loved listening to, even if I didn't know them. She incorporates a variety of other talented artists to create an eclectic yet cohesive set of songs that are great for listening to after dinner.
Noted as a Millennial “Shaking Up the Jazz World,” according to Vanity Fair,
Bria Skonberg is a self-described “small town girl” from Chilliwack,
British Columbia, who hightailed it to Vancouver straight out of high
school and earned a degree in Jazz Trumpet Performance. She developed
her songwriting chops while working with TV/jingle producer Paul Airey,
known for his work with the likes of Warner Bros. studios and the
National Hockey League.
Skonberg
is an established touring artist with numerous club and festival
performances scheduled throughout 2016. In addition, in an upcoming
issue of Down Beat magazine, she’s recognized as one of “25 for
the Future.” All in all, it’s an impressive present and even more
promising future for this welcome new voice.
