Halie Loren’s live album “Live at Cotton Club” releases on Friday, September 30 to streaming platforms across the globe! You can pre-save the album on your streaming service of choice:
Recorded during Loren’s 2015 Japan tour, “Live at Cotton Club” was recorded from the stage of Tokyo’s famed Cotton Club, and features her long-time musical collaborators Matt Treder on piano, Mark Schneider on bass, and Brian West on drums. It includes live renditions of some of her most well-loved takes on American Songbook, pop/rock, world music, and original pieces. Streaming singles from “Live at Cotton Club” (including Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby, It Don’t Mean a Thing, Too Darn Hot, and Fly Me to the Moon) were released to streaming throughout summer 2022.
Originally recorded in hi-resolution, the sonic experience of the album simultaneously captures the electricity and spontaneity of the live concert experience while also exhibiting studio-quality clarity. It was initially released exclusively by JVCKenwood in Japan, Korea, and across parts of eastern Asia in 2016. On September 30th, “Live at Cotton Club” will be released globally on all streaming platforms through Justin Time Records.
