JESSY J - SECOND CHANCES

Sax player Jessy J  burst onto the contemporary jazz scene in 2008, blending her love for Latin rhythms and jazz on her chart-topping, award-winning debut album  Tequila Moon. Jessy earned the Radio & Records 'Debut Artist of The Year' Award and Contemporary Jazz 'Song of the Year' by Both R & R and Billboard for the title track, all which held the # 1 spot on the chart for eight weeks. The talented saxophonist, pianist, singer and songwriter  has worked with everyone from The Temptations to  Michael Bublé , and she has been developing her musical voice since she was very young.

Second Chances (her 4^th release), is due out on Shanachie Entertainment on September 10, 2013 and the album features collaborations with Grammy Award-nominated keyboardist-producer Jeff Lorber, Grammy Award-winning guitarist Norman Brown, renowned bassist Jimmy Haslip (formerly with The Yellowjackets) and legendary pianist Joe Sample.

The album contains ten songs;  eight originals and two  covers Including the  Roberta Flack  hit "Feel Like Makin 'Love" and the  Sergio Mendes  classic "Magalenha."   Jessy shares, "I like to play music that people will recognize and connect to and be familiar with and also play music that's original, that 'really inspires creates new memories."
