Jazz/pop
vocalist and trombonist Aubrey Logan announces her new album Where The Sunshine Is
Expensive out today on Resonance Records. Where The Sunshine Is Expensive is a
love letter to her adopted hometown of Los Angeles. After a series of sold-out
California shows, Logan is a featured performer on the Dave Koz and Friends at
Sea cruise in Australia (with Tower of Power, Bebe Winans and other stellar
acts). She returns to New York for an extensive run at the famed Birdland Jazz
Club, April 10 through April 13.
Her latest
single "L.A." is a song that speaks for itself. It’s loaded with
clichés about the city that are also truths based in Logan’s observations,
eavesdropping in a coffee shop and driving down the I-5. “On the surface, my
relationship with the city is love/hate. But to be real, it’s love/love,” Logan
says. Her stark, and hilarious honesty about the city is captured in this
song’s opening lines, “I have a tan in January, I make six figures and I’m
broke / Oh the smog, it ain’t so scary. And the sunset, well it sure puts on a
show.”
Where the
Sunshine Is Expensive was recorded live at the legendary East West Studios in
Hollywood, in the very same room where Frank Sinatra recorded “My Way.” It all
happened in front of a live studio audience over two days, with world-class
musicians including guest appearances by jazz legend Dave Koz and vocalist
Casey Abrams.
Logan is
commonly referred to as “The Queen of Sass,” as her concerts are a mix of
excellent musicality, jaw-dropping vocals, expert trombone-playing, and a
breathtaking array of originals and original takes on cover songs. Her debut
album Impossible shot to the top 10 on the iTunes, Billboard and Amazon charts,
and her 2017 track “Habenera” was included in Amazon’s Best of 2017 Jazz
Tracks. Her appearance on Summer Horns II, from A to Z (as a special guest of
Dave Koz on Concord Records) became the #1 selling Contemporary Jazz Album.
Logan has
shared the stage with numerous luminaries including Pharrell Williams, The
Boston Pops, Josh Groban and countless others. She has performed more than 250
shows since 2016, touring as a guest star with Postmodern Jukebox, with Dave
Koz and his all-star lineup along with selling out her own shows in venues all
over the US and Europe.
